One of the things that stuck out to me when teaching was motivating the students by keeping them well informed about their progress.  That way they know how well they are doing and well be excited about learning and progressing.

Enthusiasm for the subject can keep students engaged even when the subject matter is difficult.

 Enthusiasm and excitement for the subject will help keep the students attention and will keep their attention and retention.

It is important to realize the different motivations that students have for attending school.  These reasons will affect how those students learn and how we should interact with them.
