PEN & TEN Teacher Training Workshop:
Rebels with a Cause! Brain-Compatible Approaches for Motivating Reluctant
Learners
William J. DeMeo, Ph.D
How do we address our reluctant learners who seem to have the hardest time paying attention and completing work? This dynamic and interactive workshop will focus on providing participants with
effective and practical brain-compatible strategies to assist students to become passionate learners,
and helping them retain more. Participants will be able to use these strategies immediately when
returning to their school to motivate the most reluctant students achieve.
