When was the last time you heard your child say "I can't wait to take this course!", "I wish I could keep going--I want to know what's next!", or "I love this program; it's so fun and exciting!"?

Let's face it--motivating teens to learn is no easy feat! With all the vibrant distractions in their daily lives, parents sometimes have to compete for their child's attention and engagement. If you homeschool a teenager, you will surely run into this scenario every once in a while. It's only natural for high school students to become restless with their schooling, even in their chosen learning environment. So how do you motivate teenagers to learn, keeping them engaged, interested, and wanting to learn?

K¹² employs these principles across their curriculum, and in products such as powerspeaK¹², their award-winning foreign language program developed specifically to maximize students' learning. Graphics, videos, and music encourage multi-sensory learning and reinforce connections to what students are learning. Advanced interactive features, such as an avatar-based reward system, which awards students points that can be redeemed for prizes online, also keep kids engaged and motivated to succeed.

These motivational principles also allow K¹² programs like powerspeaK¹² to provide students with a learning environment that is structured, yet flexible, allowing them to manage their time, chart their progress, and study independently--leading to successful, self-motivated course completion.

K¹² believes that all kids can learn when properly motivated, and by implementing the principles above, they can help you do just that!
