Classroom Interventions for Behavior: Virtual Power Hours, October 25 – Addressing Apathetic Behavior, Work Refusal, and Doing the Bare Minimum

From time to time, even the most motivated student can display apathetic behavior. At worst, they do nothing, and at their best, they may do just enough to get by. The goal for this session is to look at specific behaviors that are manifested through general apathy, such as boredom, helplessness, and withdrawn behavior, among others. Especially if these behaviors are interfering with a student’s academic or social success, a more intentional intervention may be warranted. This session will look specifically at interventions that will help students demonstrate an increase in motivation.
