Plenary: "Motivation: Theory in Action" K-12 teachers, university faculty, and parents lament the lack of student academic motivation. "What's the matter with these kids today?" The simple answer is, nothing, or not as much as you think. Perhaps we need to look inward, both personally and at the higher education landscape more generally to find a more suitable answer. In this keynote, we will reflect on what motivates faculty, discuss academic motivation theory and present teaching strategies associated with higher levels of undergraduate and graduate student engagement in their learning. You might learn something, you will likely be perturbed, but you will not be bored! So come out to the Teaching Enhancement Workshop. Presenter:
