About this event

Each of us have students who simply go through the motions of being a student, without any serious engagement in academics or learning. If you are searching for ways to engage these struggling and unmotivated students, this seminar is for you!

In this exciting, fast-paced seminar, you will discover new, proven strategies to empower teachers with tools that translate into student motivation, engagement, and academic success. This will be a highly interactive seminar, introducing you to the most current, innovative instructional practices that will inspire intrinsic motivation in your reluctant students.

Vince Mancuso will share these powerful techniques applicable to all disciplines and any curriculum. You will leave this seminar equipped with an expanded "toolbox" of proven strategies that will increase student engagement, maximize motivation, and develop confidence, ultimately leading to more rewarding and meaningful learning outcomes in your classroom. Prepare to engage and motivate your students in ways you never imagined!

As educators, we know deep down that our unmotivated students want to feel more successful at school. We also know that student engagement is a key ingredient to more productive learning experiences. Reluctant learners can present as a complex puzzle, challenging to understand and guide in a meaningful way. Research and practice have shown us that as student engagement increases, so too does academic achievement. But we are often left wondering … how can I inspire and empower my unmotivated students so they can begin to feel the success I know they are capable of, and desire?

This dynamic and interactive seminar is designed to fill your toolbox with a wealth of powerful tools and strategies intended to re-engage and motivate your unmotivated students! The seminar will focus on innovative, practical approaches and activities that will capture the attention of your unmotivated students and help them realize their greatest potential. You will learn how to immediately implement these practices into your classroom and curriculum in ways that maximize student engagement for your reluctant, unmotivated learners.

I hope you will join me for this valuable experience as you discover new strategies that will inspire and energize you to return to your classroom. I look forward to our day together and I am incredibly excited to work with you!

P.S. Prepare for an interactive and collaborative day! The emphasis will be on proven and practical strategies you can use immediately in your work with your unmotivated students. You'll leave with a wealth of valuable tools, resources and strategies you will be able to implement immediately in your classrooms.
