The best motivation and retention is positive reinforcement. Discussions about desire and how we can only make it possible with education.This will get students to think about their desire for their future.

The toughest challeng sometimes is keeping the student focused. I have found being approachable and genuine after getting them refocused helps. If the student feels comfortable with their instructor they will share problems that need to be addressed.

To not ignore the students outside problems is essential. Just listening makes for a motivated student. All of our students need to feel that their work and effort,despite one's problems,are very much noticed. The human factor is a life factor. Success in the class room will flow out side the class room because, of knowledge and human skills that are being acquired.

Motivation is my key in class. When students are not focused on diversity's but, on how we all are unique. The frustration is not a issue. I stress the support from each student in class to give help and ideas regardless of any diversity to each other so as to keep our class focused on the subject matter.

This is challenging and satisfying when all come together.

I have found with our diverse student population, finding a common ground is my best way to asure an ease as far as being a part of the class. When all of the students assist and help one another with class material,diversity and language comprehension is lessen all around!
