Participants will learn why recycling is not a solution and come away with a better understanding of the scope of the plastics problem.

Title: Motivational Interviewing in the Classroom
Date: Friday August 4, 2023
Time: 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Presenter: Beth LaGrange
Description of Session:
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion” (Miller & Rollnick, 2013). MI can provide educators with a tool to enhance students’ intrinsic motivation to learn or change behavior, even in brief interactions. This workshop will provide an overview of how MI has been used in schools to date and will provide space to try out some of the skills.
