When you relate the concepts of an assignment to real life situations it is more motivating to complete.  I am also trying to move away from always having to offer points or grades (carrots) for student to complete a task and want to learn.  It is very hard though

focusing on ways to make the subject matter inclusive and presenting it in an exciting matter to keep your student's interest peaked as well as your own. 

Comment on Norma Perez's post: sometimes it is difficult waiting with the awkward silence for someone to answer the question but don't jump to answer it for them.  Maybe ask it a different way

I think it is interesting to give them choices of assignments or class procedures.  If they are not forced or uncomfortable having to complete a particular assignment they will be more engaged

I've learned how to spot and/or deal with students who have issues in class and to deal with them asap and as swiftly as possible.

Each student learns at the same level. It is important to teach from a basics level and then watch how the student comprehends the material. Base the teaching as a whole and stop to elaborate where needed.
