Psychologists tell us that human beings are born with intrinsic motivation and natural tendencies to seek
out challenges and opportunities to learn. These tendencies tend to operate robustly under certain conditions.
The conditions under which intrinsic motivation can thrive and grow will be discussed during this workshop.
Participants will develop a clear framework for understanding motivation theory and developing strategies
for building intrinsic motivation among students, with a special focus on motivating under-resourced students.
