Motivating Learners with Future Focus

Steve Barkley Ponders Out Loud

Studies identify that interventions that influence students’ beliefs about the relevance of school to themselves, their lives, and their society, can impact student academic tenacity and increase student success. Without a future focus, students act according to short-term rewards and costs. A future focus that builds academic tenacity prepares students to set more challenging goals and persevere through challenges and setbacks.
