In this Webinar

Traditional advice about motivating reluctant learners rarely works because it relies on complicated programs using rewards and punishments, carrots and sticks. In this webinar, Robyn R. Jackson shared an alternative view of motivation that helps teachers entice students to learn using their own currencies.
