Listen "File #3: Glenn Whitman, Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning, on Motivation"
Episode Synopsis
What insights can Mind Brain Education give us about the motivation of students (and teachers)? How did the shift to distance learning impact motivation? How might the "action research" of teachers best impact post-COVID classroom planning?
Glenn Whitman, Director of the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning, provides insight into the organ of learning, the brain, as we continue to make meaning from the pivot to distance learning. He encourages us to think about the opportunity we have to design what schools will look like post-pandemic and to become extremely curious about how to best motivate ourselves and our students in service to this work.
