This Week’s Topic:
Finding the Spark: Tips for Building Student Motivation
Teachers can feel overwhelmed when faced with students who are unmotivated to learn. The task becomes less daunting, though, when teachers realize that they can boost student motivation in five important ways: by (1) making positive changes to the learning environment, (2) fostering a sense of community in the classroom, (3) enhancing the interest of classroom activities, (4) responding to individual learning challenges, and (5) building in additional outcomes/pay-offs for learning. This issue of The Practical Teacher contains a number of ideas for “Finding the Spark”. NASET Members login to access this issue.
