Learned variety of ways to give support to the students.

It helped to understand the needs of students.

Motivation can be categorized into two types: intrinsic and extrinsic. While extrinsic motivation can be helpful, intrinsic motivation is far more effective in driving long-term success. Extrinsic motivation should be used sparingly, primarily as a tool to help students transition toward developing intrinsic motivation, which fosters a deeper, more sustainable commitment to their goals.

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivators both guide us to goals, learning how to use them is useful.

Comment on Lily Huynh's post: Security and autonomy for students stem from trust in their abilities and personal motivation to accomplish their goals. Our institution plays a crucial role in supporting this by providing the necessary learning tools and resources, ensuring students have the guidance they need to succeed while empowering them to take ownership of their educational journey.

Security and autonomy for students is trust and their personal motivation to finish what they set out to do, or to 'achieve it'.  Our institution aids and facilitates this with the learning tools.

Using positive reinforcement is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged. Never call out and embarrass a student, because then they will enter survival mode and not learning mode. 

Keep the class engaging. Building trust and a rapport with students is extremely important. 

It is important to be a fair and honest teacher. If you are excited about what you are teaching, students are more likely to be engaged. 

Understanding that the needs of the student are different for each and every student.
