10 Motivational Tips for the Classroom


Keep Students Engaged & Active
When students are interactingand engaged, they won't have to time to get bored. Choose students at random to answer questions, and make it understood that you value their input and ideas. Student interaction and sharing enhances instructional time and prepares students to function more effectively as a body of learners. We must recognize the importance of these dynamics and find ways to celebrate student intelligence.
Allow for Creativity and Variety
Allow students to pick their own genre—such as reports, poems, creative writing stories, plays, or songs—when assigning a topic. When students can pick their favourite form of writing, they'll stay intrinsically motivated.
Create a Class Newspaper
Inspire interest in current events by using a local paper as a model for reporting class events. Class projects in every subject area can be presented as news articles with headers, by lines, lead-ins, bodies, and summary paragraphs. Word games, weather, horoscopes, and after-school activities can be integrated with whatever content is being taught.
Move Out of the Classroom
Holding class or even just a short discussion in a new environment, whether a park, museum, or the school library, is a great way to stoke student interest. When you return to your classroom, they may see a new approach to a problem or assignment.
Create Competitions
Participate in a competition. As long as there is appreciation for everyone's best effort and not all attention is placed solely on the winner, a competition can be a great way to create excitement.
Offer Differentiated Instruction
Knowing that you'll have students of differing abilities in your classroom, craft your lessons for everyone - taking into consideration the different ability levels.

Provide Feedback Promptly, Frequently, and Efficiently
Students must be able to see a direct connection between any effort or completed task (such as homework) and a response from you, both verbal and written. Make sure you mention each student's personal progress, rather than comparing his or her work with others in the class.
Share Accomplishments
Provide numerous opportunities for students to share their accomplishments with the class and the class to share their achievements with the larger school community. Use skits, plays, readers theater productions, library displays, bulletin boards, a class newspaper or newsletter, or other media to promote the efforts of the whole classroom.
Render Multiple Opportunities for Students to Set Goals
Invite students to establish obtainable goals for a lesson, a unit, or even for the whole year. Ask them their topics of learning interest and their concept to study that material. We're more inclined to pursue those goals and relish in the success that comes about when we achieve them.

Study plans for college?

What is a study plan? A study plan is an organized schedule that students create that outlines study times and learning goals. Just like with work or school schedules, college students should develop a study schedule where they can block off days and times in their calendar dedicated to studying. If you are an online student, a study plan is even more important in your success in college, since you need to have self-discipline and determination to complete your studies without the constant reminders of an instructor. Why do I need a study plan? Every student will develop a different study plan; there is no correct study plan for everyone. When creating your personalized study plan, you will need to do some self-evaluation of your current schedule and time management. Remember, each student studies differently, so the amount of time you need to study will differ from the time your classmates devote to studying. Some students find that studying nightly for thirty minutes is mo...

Tips For Teachers in doing Better Presentations In Classroom

1. Establish one clear idea. Conventional wisdom of the past used to be about putting as much information and content into a presentation as possible. It was all about trying as hard as you could to come across as an authoritative figure who truly was a master of the subject. That barely works in higher education. Consider that you aren’t trying to teach someone everything you know in a short window, but rather making an impression for long-term retention. Focus on one idea with supporting information in a quick period of time. 2. Start with a compelling hook. Considering an average suggested presentation length is only around ten minutes, you don’t have to waste time. One thing that won’t vary is the need to grab students right off of the bat and have them paying attention from the first few seconds. When the average attention spans have shrunk down to around eight seconds, you know that you need to jump right in with something captivating. Obviously your presentation need...

They have more of an impact on them than anyone else in their lives, so you need to get to know them, and understand what their home life is like.
