How to Motivate Students Without Using Grades

Aug 25, 2021

What if you could motivate all of your students without awarding a single grade?

In this short interview, motivation expert and 8th grade Math/ Science PBL teacher Marc Shulman of world renowned High Tech High teaches us how to:

  • Motivate our most troubled students
  • Build relationships before building projects
  • Seamlessly move from the 'sage on the stage' to the architect behind the scenes
  • Get students as young as 12 to produce professional work for real clients...and get paid for it
  • Create a classroom of high expectations where every student plays a part
