Have you noticed a trend with students' behavior in the classroom? Are you wondering what to do with unmotivated students that you may feel are the "lazy" kids or the "bad" kids? Then you're not going to want to miss this podcast episode all about how to motivate lazy students.

On today's episode of the podcast about how to motivate lazy students. We're diving into what could be the root cause of the behavior we are observing with our students… and what to do when we feel like we've tried everything. And guess what parents- this applies to us with our own kids, too! Chances are there is something today you haven't tried just yet!

I've worked with MANY of our members inside the Club with 1:1 coaching sessions while I was working on my life coach certification with the life coach school. While this was far from the only topic, I've noticed a trend on the topic of student motivation, how to motivate lazy students and classroom management.

We go into what it means when we label students "lazy" or "bad". What does "lazy" or "bad" mean? "Lazy" and "Bad" or whatever word we might use have negative connotations that come with the label and the harm it can cause to a student's self-esteem and motivation.

I also dive into our own beliefs as teachers. If we believe a student is "lazy", this more than likely affects how we treat them, which then affects their motivation and attitude towards school. This episode discusses how to reflect on these students and offers actionable tips you can do in the classroom to help motivate lazy students and "bad" kids.

This episode is FULL of insight, inspiration and actionable tips you can implement in your classroom to positively impact your classroom management. You DON'T want to miss it!
