The Reluctant Learner Toolbox: Techniques for Turning Resistance into Progress

In every classroom, there are students who seem uninterested, unmotivated, or disengaged. They may be quiet and withdrawn or defiant and disruptive. They often resist participation, avoid challenges, or give up before they even begin. These reluctant learners are not failing because they lack intelligence or ability; they’re struggling because something—academic fear, past experiences, unmet needs, or emotional barriers—is standing in the way of their engagement. This powerful, strategy-rich workshop is designed for educators seeking practical, research-informed approaches to reconnect with these hard-to-reach students. Whether you teach elementary or secondary students, general or special education, this session will equip you with applicable tools and strategies to transform resistance into resilience and passive learning into active participation.
