Student motivation is integral to their success

This course helped me learn about different ways to motivate others.  I really liked the autonomy, mastery, purpose information and will try to use that in my classroom.

Students and instructors can both feel burn out. Using refocus will help both parties

all students have different learning abilities

understanding student needs

It's important to come up with various ways to keep students motivated.  It's also important for an instructor to consider their own motivations.

This module helped in serving as a reminder that no mater what pedagogy we prescribe to ourselves or to other teachers, what must remain is the human element. Getting frustrated will, of course, happen but we can not allow our frustrations to exert themselves against the students and must understand where it is that they are coming from. Losing our ability to recognize student's as individuals and instead ascribing them to the role of student, will not only prevent their own internal motivations, but will impede your ability to succeed.

I would motivate my students by doing things that they are interested in by obtaining a survey at the beginning of the semester to be sure that I know them well and use that knowledge for better engagement.

I enjoyed how it have methods to quiet the talkers and help get more participation from the "non" talkers by assigning observer roles. I also agree with my colleagues as the REFOCUS is so important to maintain the enthusiasm throughout the semester at time.  Sometimes we may just need time to give encouragement and support. I find those two factors correlate to student success. Based on my experience.

Learning students and adapting teaching methods is so difficulty. I believe that is why most people I see lecture.  I plan to make name cards for each student and work very hard to make sure I pronounce it well as I don't like when students change their name to make it easier for others to pronounce. I think that this talks about the level of caring by wanting to learn their names as quickly as possible.
