Spotlight Lesson of the Week
Practical strategies to help students overcome avoidance, build effort stamina, and follow through on tasks—without constant reminders or pressure.
The Problem
You see it every day:
– Assignments started… but never finished
– Students giving up when work gets hard
– Constant reminders just to get basic tasks done
It’s not that students can’t do the work—
It’s that they don’t yet have the tools to stick with it.
Come watch this lesson demo and try it with your students!
You will walk away with all the lesson resources ready to deliver to your class or group.
