5. WHY DO YOUR STUDENTS LEARN?
• Long-term learning cannot take
place without emotional connection
with content
• Extrinsic v. Intrinsic Motivation
• Empathy correlates with both
happiness and success in life
8. HOW CAN CHILDREN LEARN GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
WHEN THEY OFTEN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE
CITIZENS OF THEIR OWN CLASSROOMS?
What are the qualities of a
good citizen?
22. DESIGN CHALLENGE
• Build a structure that keeps a textbook 2 inches off the table
for 60 seconds.
• You may only use toothpicks and gumdrops.
• Each toothpick used costs $2
• Each gumdrop used costs $3
• Your structure cannot cost more than $80.
29. FUNDRAISING, BY ITSELF, DOES NOT BUILD EMPATHY.
STUDENTS NEED RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS WHO
ARE DIFFERENT THAN THEY ARE.
SERVICE PROJECTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE A TWO-WAY
STREET.
