Episode Synopsis

Can you motivate people who are reluctant to learn?
Motivating people to do things is exhausting, and many times futile. It happens in the classroom with students who are reluctant to do work. Sometimes the reluctance comes from the fact that they don't have the skills to succeed. Other times, the students have the skills, but are creating the impression that they don't care. Teachers must figure out the correct cause of the lack of motivation and implement the right approach to turn things around.
Join Steve and Dan Fouts – founders of Teach Different and twin  brothers with over 50 years of teaching experience – along with United  States educator Scott Steward (Big Stew), professor of business and founder of the Genius Lab, Inc, for a compelling conversation about  education, enriched by the Teach Different Method.
