Transforming student’s motivation as the major driver in the classroom!

Excited to Learn is grounded in Ginsberg and Wlodkowski's Motivational Framework for Culturally-Responsive Teaching and includes over 50 teaching strategies for a broad range of grade levels and subject areas. These field-tested and research-validated tools provide a blend of theory and practice educators.



The book identifies and provides easily customized teaching methods based on four conditions of the framework:

• Inclusion (respect and connectedness)


• Attitude (choice and relevance)


• Meaning (challenge and engagement)


• Competence (authenticity and effectiveness)

Illustrated through narrative and outline formats, the framework is attuned to the planning needs of busy educators.
