Blending general humanistic theories with the Wlodkowski's perspective on motivation, we will explore how to support students in reaching their full potential. The presentation offers skills at how best guides students to find their path and increase their sense of personal effectiveness. Using techniques to incorporate empathy, enthusiasm, expertise, clarity, and cultural responsiveness in the classroom, instructors can encourage students to learn while increasing their motivation to persist toward their goals. Attendees will learn how to make online learning more empowering, motivating and student-directed/centered by establishing and maintaining a positive and supportive bond with students. This presentation will provide a research-based curriculum that coordinates with Purdue Global's mission to help working adults develop the academic and professional skills they need to achieve their personal and career goals.
