ive learned ways to keep myself motivated and excited in order to keep students motivated and excited about learning .
I agree that it comes down to the matters of the heart. If you love what you are teaching that will be relayed to your students which could become contagious in that they will also love what they do.
REFOCUS is a reminder to keep your focus on the students and keep them engaged. Check yourself as the instructor, ensuring the appropriate material is being covered and you are on target. Utilize a variety of teaching methods in 10-15 minutes blocks to help students not get bored, instead help to keep them learning and applying in discussions /exercises.
Learning is both cognitive and tactical. this helps students become engaged and self actualized and therefore a more effective form of approaching the learn-a-tivity process. two the mid-term slump can come at time when the students become creatures you don't even recognize in the classroom. You must create a facilitation plan to avoid this slump and since students learning component can be emotional your focus on this component is critical so much as the delivery of instruction as well as their buy-in to the instructional process is just as important.

Comment on Joshua Beckey's post: Absolutely! Recognizing both personal and student achievements creates a cycle of encouragement. It shows growth is happening on all fronts--and that's the kind of energy that keeps the whole class moving forward.
Keeping my focus on the students means remembering this isn't just about welding metal--it's about building people. I teach with patience, listen more than I talk, and try to be the kind of mentor I once needed. When students know they belong, that's when the sparks really fly.
use a mid-course boost of encouragement to keep students engaged.

It is necessary to ensure the students,they are important and are heard. Getting the students names and correct ponnunciation early on is helpful in creating good working relaationships with students.
Make sure to connect with your student's, come up with a situation where the student's themselves have total input, and they can discuss the situation among themselves
I learned that sometime you might encounter that mid course slump and the importance of activities to put engery back into your class.
Maintain an interesting class and focus on constant assessment of its development to build trust and a good relationship with students during your teaching process.
