Can artificial intelligence transform how we navigate the most challenging dialogues on campus? Join us for a thought-provoking episode featuring philosopher and educator Simon Cullen, as he unveils his pioneering work at the intersection of education, technology, and constructive disagreement.In conversation with John Tomasi, Simon explores how open inquiry is both advanced and imperiled by disagreement, and describes his academic journey from Australia to Princeton and Carnegie Mellon. Central to the discussion is ‘Sway' an AI-powered platform developed by Simon and his team to foster rigorous, evidence-based dialogue among students on controversial topics. Sway intelligently pairs students with opposing views and acts as a “guide on the side,” scaffolding reasoning, encouraging intellectual humility, and ensuring that exchanges remain constructive and charitable.

Dan breaks down the research behind cognitive interest cues—simple yet powerful techniques teachers can use to increase student engagement, deepen learning and make lessons more memorable.Key Topics Covered:Why motivation is one of the strongest predictors of student success, sometimes more than teacher quality or socioeconomic background.The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation—and why relying on external rewards (like candy or extra credit) doesn't work for deep learning.The four principles of cognitive interest cues—practical ways to spark curiosity in students.How to personalize learning using AI to connect assignments to student interests.Why challenging students with complex, thought-provoking tasks actually increases engagement.Resources Mentioned:The New Classroom Instruction That Works Curiosity Hooks Planning Guide—Dan's handout with templates and guiding questions for creating curiosity-driven lessons Keisha King's episode on getting students to talk more in class Quotable Moments:“Students aren't disengaged because they don't care—they're disengaged because the learning environment hasn't sparked their curiosity.” — Dan Rock“People are more motivated to learn when they are challenged, not when they are given busy work.” — Dan RockDon't Miss:Ashley's reflection: Why extra credit bribes don't lead to deep learning—and what to do instead.Dan's strategy: Use controversial or thought-provoking questions to hook students at the start of a lesson.Jason's coaching insight: How curiosity cues apply not just to students, but to teachers in professional development.

This episode follows on from the previous episode where we unpacked the key insights into classroom engagement by a recent study conducted by Lego Education.In this episode I explore the strategies that will motivate students to take ownership for their own learning, which of course has the ripple effect of better overall engagement not just for our students but for ourselves too.Have you noticed that students have become passive recipients of knowledge? They sit there waiting for us to pour knowledge and information into them, and then they don't do anything with that knowledge. They're unable to transfer their learning into other areas.One way that we can ensure that students transfer knowledge, is to better engage them.And the way to better engage students is firstly to make sure that what we are teaching them is relevant to their lives. And when learning is relevant, students are better positioned to take ownership for their learning.For all the links mentioned please go to the episode website.To sign up to Get Curious, the weekly newsletter with actionable strategies for keeping children and adults curious, go here.☕️ You can help me to keep going with the podcast by buying me a coffee

In this conversation, Jeff Utecht interviews Tyler Rablin about his new book, 'Hacking Student Motivation.' They discuss the importance of feedback and assessment in motivating students, the impact of grades and assessment on student motivation, and the need for change in education. Tyler shares his experiences working with students in rural agricultural communities and the challenges they face in finding motivation in school. He also explains the concept of learning progressions and how they can replace rubrics to support student learning. The conversation concludes with Tyler expressing his excitement about the release of his book and the positive feedback he has received. Takeaways Feedback is a powerful tool for motivating students and should be broadened to include anything that helps students gauge their progress towards a goal. Motivation is closely tied to student belief in their ability to succeed. It is crucial to provide evidence of success and create a supportive learning environment. Learning progressions can be a more effective alternative to rubrics, as they break down learning goals into manageable steps and allow students to see their progress.

It's an age-old question: Why aren't my students as excited about this super-awesome lesson plan as I am?? Of course, it would be wonderful if every student arrived to class with deep, passionate motivation to learn each day. Seeing as how that's not quite the reality in our schools, this week we explore what role teachers play in creating the conditions for students to develop an intrinsic motivation for learning. We're joined by veteran teacher and author extraordinaire Larry Ferlazzo to examine the issue of motivation and discuss his new project, The Student Motivation Handbook. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a study about the apparent benefits of high grading standards and a UCLA study that found a sharp decline in violence at California secondary schools.

Student motivation is the topic of this extended episode conversation with host Kayla Potter and High School Language Arts Teacher Desmond Spann. At the foundation of the discussion is the concept that motivation is a skill that ultimately must align with students' values and interests. Desmond acknowledges the difference between internal and external motivation in the classroom and why he strives for the former over the latter. One strategy Desmond uses for increasing intrinsic motivation is being intentional about finding out what's important to students and showing them how what is happening in the classroom aligns with their values. He also explains how creating classroom conditions where students feel it's okay to take risks and make mistakes contributes to student engagement and motivation. Kayla and Desmond additionally discuss giving students the language they need to express that they're struggling with motivation and engagement, balancing academics with humanity, the pitfalls of solely using grades as a motivator, and the connection between equity and student motivation.    Resources: Worth Work podcast - Desmond Spann and Jesse Gardner Atlas of the Heart - Brene Brown Susan Fowler books on motivation

In this Student Motivation episode, Swami Mukundananda explains how we can develop the A+ Student Mentality, the mentality to do every work with excellence. Excellence is not about being the best in the world; it is just about giving your everything to what you do. Swamiji gives examples of top CEOs, billionaires and highly successful people how they adopted the A+ Student mentality to achieve success in their respective fields. Finally, Swamiji explains that God is a perfect personality and if we respect Them we must do the best work with what we have.

“If you don't do the work, then you don't get the grade.” The saddest part about that cringe-worthy sentence is that I've said it to students before. Early on in my career, I had no idea how to motivate students in my teaching. I'd do my best to plan fun lessons, but I'd resort to a “carrots and sticks” approach when dealing with unmotivated students. The problem is that controlling students with rewards and consequences only leads to higher levels of anxiety, boredom, or alienation. It robs students of their natural love for learning and the feelings of joy, enthusiasm, and interest that once came with it. Knowing this impact, how can we best support student motivation in our lessons? Self-determination theory looks at human motivation and tries to understand the factors that push or prevent people from wanting to learn and grow. The theory argues that intrinsic motivation is sustained by satisfying three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. In this episode, we will take a look at how we can use self-determination theory to increase student motivation in P.E. I did my best to tie theory to practice and I'm convinced that you will have a few new strategies in your tool belt after listening to this podcast. Thanks for tuning in! Happy Teaching! ---- Show Notes
