How to Motivate the Unmotivated
Based on participant feedback, many have asked for ideas on how to motivate the unmotivated. During this session a panel of I-Think Leadership Council members will use an integrative thinking tool – the causal model – to find possible solutions for this problem of practice.
“Too often the conversation about school improvement gets buried beneath a never-ending cycle of operational due dates, parent concerns and student issues that demand an immediate response. Yet! Never have I felt such a compelling moral imperative to embrace and promote a culture of hope and optimism about the future of public education.
Emma Nichols – Principal, Dundas Junior Public School, Toronto DSB
We owe it to our children to help students and educators alike, move past the challenges of the last 5 years, and return our focus to building a foundation for school success. Now, more than ever, school leadership must be about collaborating with our colleagues to find the tools we need and the moves we can make to design, to innovate and ultimately, to restore the public’s faith in the ability of Ontario schools to meet the challenges of the 21st century.”
Join us and be part of a movement that’s transforming education one small move at a time. Together, we can create schools where every student and staff member thrives with confidence and optimism.
