How Risk-Taking Transforms Student Engagement (30 Clock Hours)

If you have taken this course for graduate credit through ArmchairEd, you cannot take the same course for clock hours through ArmchairEdClockHours.

Perhaps more now than at any other time in modern history, our students need a feeling of connectedness at school.  They need to feel seen, heard, understood, and known in our classrooms.  And it begins with us.  As middle and high school teachers, we have the power to inspire a whole new level of engagement with the students in front of us.  This course describes the positive student relationships that lies in our capacity to teach with vulnerability—to bring our authentic selves into the classroom.

Failure is not only a possibility for learners during these challenging times, but a productive, concrete way of gaining ground. How can parents and educators teach kids to turn failure into progress toward success? Learn what to say and what not to say to truly help kids self-motivate and become independent, lifelong learners. Create a deeper understanding of how motivation works along with new, practical, research-driven strategies for spurring learners to thrive. Kids are bound to stumble and fall, but by capitalizing on knowledge and the latest research on motivation, we can equip them to stand up and move forward, pointing them on the route to success.
