Students are more likely to achieve if they understand how
it adds up to success. Investing students in the vision and big goals of the
classroom is a great way to get student to see success in their work and how it
adds up to greater success in the long term.
Thank you for embarking on this journey. This course falls under the
category Classroom Culture. Students do better in the long run when they are
invested in their own success. This course shows you how you can get their
students to see success in your classrooms and why it is important to see
success at all. It also shows you how you can build intrinsic motivation (the
desire to succeed that will outlast your tenure as their teacher and the students’
time in school) in your students.
