FREE One HE Course: Applying the Science of Motivation to Teaching with Sarah Rose Cavanagh from Simmons University

As educators, how do you help students to see the longer-term value of their studies to their life and career?

Self-determination, achievement, and goal setting are all drivers of their motivation and will support their success. Here's a primer on the science of motivation and its application in the classroom.

This course is free to all educators, so please share it with your colleagues and networks. https://bit.ly/3IkRxUv
