Motivation of the un-motivated (mindfulness)

Our motivation courses focus on understanding what motivation is and using this understanding to teach students and other workers to motivate themselves…we focus on internal motivation (mindfulness) to make positive changes rather than external motivation…The greatest reward is success itself!

These courses are suitable for whole staff in service, Year 2 teachers and beyond, teachers who struggle with students who under achieve through lack of engagement.
