Friday Session F81 10:30 - 11:20 102A
Motivating, Engaging, and Inspiring Hard to Reach Students

This interactive session will explore how to create a classroom culture that supports equity
and mastery for students. The session will be structured in five parts. First, we will discuss
research on the four cultures of praise, competence, belonging, and autonomy that support
mastery for students. We will explore how these moves are equity moves in the classroom.
Second, we will present ways in which these four cultures can be implemented in the
classroom to support student engagement and mastery. We will share examples and strategies
for creating a positive classroom culture.Third, we will review personal data that demonstrates
how these cultures have improved student outcomes. Participants will gain insight into the
potential benefits of using these four cultures in their classrooms. Finally, participants will
engage in small group and whole group discussions to reflect on these cultures and consider
how they can increase them in their own classrooms. They will share their ideas and
experiences and learn from each other.
By the end of the session, participants will have a better understanding of the four cultures that
support mastery for students and how to implement them in their own classrooms. They will
have a plan for building a positive classroom culture that promotes equity and mastery for all
students.

Participants will need their device (laptop/phone). We will be working through Padlet to capture
thoughts and I will use it as a way to share out the brilliance in the room. Everything will be
electronic. I will use the overhead projector and present through a PowerPoint.
