Lesson 1.1 Welcome and How This Toolkit Works
This is not a full course. It is a toolkit. I built it because I kept meeting students who, like myself, were checked out and flat. The usual answer was try harder or fix your time management. That never felt right.
Here you will find three sessions that explain why nothing feels fun and why even trying seems impossible or unlikely, using simple neuroscience and real examples. You can use the whole toolkit or pull out one session when you need it.
This toolkit gives you
- Two teaching videos with transcripts
- Two ready to run activities with answer keys
- Two quizzes
- One Dopamine chapter
- One novel study proposal video
- One optional preschool outreach module
Suggested order inside the course
