The Feedback Children Need to Build Self Motivation
FULLY FUNDED MARIPOSA TRAINING OPPORTUNITY!
Tools for Encouraging Effort and Growth in Young Learners
In this minicourse, we will share the research around what types of feedback we all need to grow and learn when challenged, and we will give you some concrete tools to use right away to help children persevere in the face of challenge.
Specifically, you will learn to:
- Identify the essential components for overcoming obstacles and fostering internal motivation in children.
- Understand how different types of reinforcement can either enhance or diminish children’s effort and internal motivation.
- Apply descriptive reinforcement techniques that acknowledge children’s efforts, clarify what behaviors are being reinforced, and build internal motivation and self-confidence.
- Practice giving feedback that promotes children’s development and strengthens the adult-child relationship.

Anne Townsend, Ph.D.
I’m a social-emotional scientist and for more than 2 decades I’ve been researching how children of all ages develop the social-emotional skills they need to be successful in school and in life. I founded Mariposa with a mission to change the lives of children through our proprietary method. Mariposa is an official partner with Loyola University where I have developed and taught a graduate level course on promoting social-emotional learning as well as an advanced course specifically focused on the role of stress and trauma in a child’s ability to learn, form relationships and behave appropriately.
Jenny Barrett, M.Ed.
As an early childhood educator for 30 years, a special educator, an administrator and parent, I have found this method the single most impactful in all of the training I have had. I was first able to bring this into a school community as an administrator. Seeing the culture that we have been able to create at one Baltimore city preschool, has been transformational. And through Mariposa,I am committed to bringing this approach to as many educators and parents as possible. Because I see the impact of it. And through facilitator training with The National SEED project, (Seeking Equity and Educational diversity,) I've seen the overlap and importance of this work , as well as how the Mariposa method supports culturally responsive teaching.
