What's the best way to motivate students to truly own their education, learn deeply and develop resilience? Jessica Lahey, teacher, writer, and mom, will present the case for intrinsic motivation as the key to all of these qualities that will lead to quality of life and success.
She explains why rescuing and overparenting behaviors lead to learned helplessness and fixed mindsets, and how parents and educators can instead give students the support and encouragement they need to be autonomous and motivated over the long term.
