Motivation, Engagement, and Self-regulation
This workshop is part of the four-day literacy institute, The Strategic Classroom: Bridging Literacy and Executive Function. Join us for this individual workshop — or mix and match days and half-days — to build a personalized experience.
This session focuses on building student motivation and self-regulation to support sustained engagement and academic stamina. Participants will explore how classroom routines, task design, and teacher practices influence persistence and ownership of learning. You’ll leave with a toolkit of high-leverage strategies to support goal-setting, progress monitoring, and effort management- alongside digital tools like Habitaca, Tiimo, Streaks, Forest, and Moodnotes that help students monitor and manage their own learning. In the afternoon, in-person attendees will analyze a current lesson or unit and design embedded supports that strengthen student motivation and self-regulation for lasting, long-term impact
