Day 1 | October 17, 2024
Studying & Self-Directed Learning
Research reveals: most students have never been taught how to study, and the strategies they devise on their own don’t work. Day 1 of Art of Motivating Students Summit is dedicated to learning how to provide explicit instruction to diverse learners to help them be more effective, self-regulated learners.
Explore the presentations below which will go live on October 17 at 5:00am ET
Jump to a topic: Encoding | Retrieval | Reading, Writing, ‘Rithmetic
First up, the opening keynote address with Gretchen Wegner
Let’s kick off the summit with an overview that sets the stage for all the tools you’ll learn. Explore common reasons why students struggle to be motivated, and uncover what role coaches, tutors and teachers play in helping to nurture self-motivated, perhaps even inspired, action in the students we serve.
Watch the keynote starting on October 17 at 5:00 am ET
Day 1: Encoding Strategies
According to cognitive scientists, before learning can be stored in our memory banks, our brains must “encode” new information and skills. The following speakers share encoding strategies to help students fill their study toolbox with creative ways to learn and remember.

Learners to Leaders — An Interview with Two College Student Coaches
Pop quiz: Is a “student coach” someone who coaches students, a student learning to coach, or a coach-in-training? In this case, it’s all three! Two college students, now executive function coaches, join their employer Crista Hopp to discuss what it was like to be required to learn the Anti-Boring Toolkit, as well as the most valuable tools they've collected as both coaches and students, and their most poignant moments with clients thus far.
The video will go live at 5am ET on Saturday, Oct 19.
