Helping Students Motivate Themselves
Tuesday, April 12, 2011, 2 p.m. Eastern timeLarry Ferlazzo talked about techniques he uses in his classroom to help students to motivate themselves to learn. He draws from his longtime career as a community organizer to help students set and meet goals for themselves in learning and classroom behavior. He combines literacy development with short and rigorous academic lessons on topics such as self-control, personal responsibility, brain growth, and perseverance, and uses many "on-the-spot" interventions—all designed to engage students and connect to their self-interests.
Larry Ferlazzo teaches English at Luther Burbank High School, Sacramento’s largest inner-city high school. He writes a popular education blog and has written two books, Building Parent Engagement In Schools and English Language Learners: Teaching Strategies That Work, where he connects what he has learned in his 19-year community-organizing career with his present work in the classroom. He has won numerous awards, including the Ford Foundation's Leadership For A Changing World Award and the International Reading Association's Presidential Award for Reading and Technology. His third book, Helping Students Motivate Themselves: Practical Answers To Classroom Challenges, is expected to be published by Eye On Education this spring.
