Excited to Learn: Motivation and Culturally Responsive Teaching

Transforming student s motivation as the major driver in the classroom!

Excited to Learn is grounded in Ginsberg and Wlodkowski s Motivational Framework for Culturally-Responsive Teaching and includes over 50 teaching strategies for a broad range of grade levels and subject areas. These field-tested and research-validated tools provide a blend of theory and practice educators.

The book identifies and provides easily customized teaching methods based on four conditions of the framework:

• Inclusion (respect and connectedness)
• Attitude (choice and relevance)
• Meaning (challenge and engagement)
• Competence (authenticity and effectiveness)

Illustrated through narrative and outline formats, the framework is attuned to the planning needs of busy educators.
