Certificate in Learning and Motivation

Why do some children participate confidently while others withdraw, avoid tasks or display challenging behaviour?

This course helps educators look beyond what they see on the surface to understand the developmental, motivational and environmental factors influencing children’s learning and behaviour. Participants will examine how classroom demands, relationships and barriers to learning can shape engagement, then explore practical ways to create more responsive and inclusive learning experiences.

Through case discussions and structured problem-solving activities, participants will develop a more thoughtful, strength-based approach to supporting children. The course also highlights the importance of working collaboratively with families, professionals and other stakeholders to plan support and review its effectiveness.
