Learning is a two way street. I like it when i was able to understand where my student are coming from. It may take time but it is worth listening. When you listen, not only did they able to respect you but more so, they able to return such respect and become engage in the subject matter that was being thought.

Providing autonomy and security forms the building blocks that allow student motivation to flourish. Regular feedback and encouragement go a long way in reinforcing students' motivation to succeed in class.

The more I verbally praise a student in front of their peers they strive to keep a high level of competance. Critisism is always done privately but I phrase it as how to do it better next time.

Making the class fun, keeping them engaged, and being consistent will keep them interested and wanting more. I like to speed time them, play cosmetology hangman and charades. 

This Course help me get ideas on Student retention! I wrote down a few strategies that i will defintly need to try. I was happy to see a few ideas on there that i had already implemented into our classes. Thank you

I feel this course had good ideas and strategies for engaging students.  It will change how I think about this topic and provide assistance in developing new activities.

Its the first impression and the way you implement the stratagies that makes the classroom and nice enviorment/ culture.

This lesson has taught me to remember that the students may have a different perspective about learning than mine.

Being motivated to the student has always be my goal, but from modal Ed102 I have realize that I need to reboost myself sometime in the course of teaching.  Student can be stimulated only if the instructor is truely engaged.  My challenge to myself is to set goals to remotivate myself when my energy get low in the course of a class.

I am usually quick to respond to students questions, however this module discussing students as the customer reminds staff and faculty to use their therapeutic communication skills. We should be pausing and asking open ended questions prior to responding to our students. This demonstrates a caring attitude and genuine interest in their education.

i will use this in class for compatition 

I completely agree with the idea that we need to demonstrate the connection between what we are teaching and the students' future careers. As a math teacher, it is easy to fall into a flow of just teaching math, but students really do appreciate understanding how they will use the math later. The challenge is that some of the math is in the curriculum to allow them to continue with their studies if they choose to go to a traditional university and take algebra 1 so it does not have a career application beyond "you might need this if...".

Modeling the way is key in helping students to learn professionalism.

I will ensure that my syllabus has clarity and that I demonstrate enthusiam in presentation of material and provide various educational methodologies. 

Motivation, I agree, is key to the intrests of student and instructor. The most effective courses in my educational career came from instructors who knew our names, check for understanding and creatively found ways for the class to effectively apply the material we were learning in a practical and immediate way. Their deliveries of their respective content made an enormous difference compared to other instructors ineffective approach to presenting the materials. I can only hope to pay my currents students forward with the passion and clarity that my instructors provided for me.

Help a student become confident and motivated through reinforcement

I tend to use a lot of repetition in the presentation of the material presented in the courses I teach.  To prevent my students from becoming bored from grappling material the same way day in and day out, I try to provide them with the opportunity to select topics and activities within the scope of the assignment that interests them. In this way, students get to explore and express their talents and interests.  The result is a more self-motivated student.

What have been your experiences in regards to this topic?

I teach evening classes and the content of this last class completely applies to my students. Many of them come straight from work and are already exhausted. Keeping them motivated and understanding their circumstances is always challenging. I always keep encouraging them by letting them know that it will enhance their career outlook.

I intend to put into practice much of what I learned. It's time to incorporate new ideas into the teaching process.
