TEACHER-TESTED WAYS TO INCREASE
YOUR STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION QUICKLY AND EASILY

Children fulfill the expectations that the adults around them communicate.
This does not mean that every student will score 100% on every test they write. It does mean that if you communicate to a child that he or she is failure, he or she will fail. If you communicate to that same child that he or she will succeed; you will often find that that is the outcome. With every opportunity, encourage your students that they are making progress in their subject learning. Point out to them the areas in which you see progress and improvement. For areas in which a student struggles, try to portray a picture of what success will look like. Encouraging your students to visualize their success will aid them in accomplishing those goals you set before them.
Sometimes motivating your students is as easy as changing the material you are using.
For most teachers, the school chooses a curriculum that they expect each teacher to follow in his or her classes. Even when this is the case, it does not mean that you cannot bring additional resources to class. Sometimes students are turned off by the style or approach of certain curriculum authors. Bringing a different perspective into the class will reengage your students who are turned off by your current materials. In addition, it will challenge those who are already seeing success from the assigned curriculum.
Providing students with accountability is an important element of being a teacher.
Without the idea of a deadline and a grade, many students would never have the self-motivation that is required to successfully learn a subject. Be clear with your students when you tell them your expectations. Make sure they know the deadline for a project’s completion and what standards you will use to assess that project.
Competition is a great way to motivate students.
There are many ways to foster a friendly spirit of competition in your class.
One never fail motivational method you can use with your students is giving rewards.
Finally, though not as enjoyable as other techniques to motivate, consequences of certain actions can also be a motivator to students.
Make your expectations clear, and communicate to your student what the consequences will be to certain behavior.
