EDUCATION SYE Project

Proposal Framework

Name: Joelle Marshall

Title: Motivation in Young Adolescents

Rationale: I am affected by school shootings and suicide. These normally

happen because of bullying or lack of attention to a student that may be
struggling. I want to develop students’ self-motivation stills so that it can transfer
to their lives. I want to give them the tools to turn their negative thoughts around
and know that it is alright to fail, but we must dust ourselves off and learn from it.

Project Description: I will create a series of three lessons to build self-

motivation that will be given during their academic assist time. We will address
failure, perception, and self-worth during these lessons through videos, writings,
and activities. The lessons will be passed down to my team of teachers for them
to do with future classes with hopes that they will do these lessons at the
beginning of the school year before any grades are given.

Communication: The team I work on, principal, guidance counselors, parents

Materials: Motivational videos, medium through which the students can express
their feelings that they feel is a safe environment, activities that promote unity
and positivity, exit survey that asks for advice and explains what information they
gained

Timeline: Break down the major activities that will occur and the major tasks you
will need to complete and place them on the timeline provided.
