Motivation can have both positive and negative effects on academic achievement.
A phenomenon that is often observed in middle and high school classrooms is a declining interest among adolescents in school,
decreased achievement motivation, and changes in self-esteem. Referencing the information you learned in Chapter 10 (attached), create a program to reverse the trend seen in adolescence regarding school interest, achievement motivation, and declining grades. Your response should address the following questions:
Who will the program target? Why have you selected this population of students?
Use information from the chapter to support your decision
. What types of strategies will you use to increase interest in school?
What about achievement motivation? Grades? Buy-in from parents would most likely be key to the success of your program
. How will you get parents involved? How will you measure student outcomes in your program?
