One of the most interesting things I have each term is the idea that students have NO IDEA who you are. They are joining a class and they don't know you or me. So I have to show them that I can be trusted. That I know what I am talking about (through experience or stories or demonstrations) and from there, it builds a trust that when I say that they can do it and allow them to try and do something, it often makes them more confident. They like hearing, "See, I knew it was too easy for you...let's do something challenging."
Motivation for yourself and your students is very important. At the same time being able to be empathetic and seeing the specialness of each individual student will go a long way towards have the most optimal learing experience for your class.
The learning process works with both the student and instructor work together to create an enthusiastic learning experience. The instructor can assist the student by keeping them engaged, motivating them, and supporting them.

Motivation to key to student success. Knowing why they are doing a certain project or case study will motivate them to complete it. Ah ha moments are really not moments. They are ponits when the realization of events over the course of the course makes sense.
This module solidifies the importance to empathy and sharing of your passion for the specialty takes the burden off the instructor and promotes self motivation. This motivation has an ecreditable appetite pushing the student for more, pursing the knowledge as a part of their own desire and not because they were told to do so. Once experiencing the positive impact on successful completion of exams you have a true winner.
Mnemonic techniques are great learning strategies for students!
Motivating students and understanding how to motivate them will be beneficial for the instructor. Understandinf inteinsic and extrinsic motivation is important.
Enthusiasm is contagious. If faculty are enthusiastic about a course student are more likely to also. Faculty also need to be empathetic to personal issues encountered by students ie. death of loved one.
Immediate feedback is important to upkeep student motivation as well as understanding how individual students respond to certain circumstances.

I understood that; "... modeling positive behavior, attitude, and actions will do much to keep the students excited about training to enter the field."
Motivation can either build your student or it can even brake them so its important to keep the right Motivation going.
Instructors must be ready to give quick feedback to students in a positive and encouraging way during the course of a class to continue to motivate students to have a successful learning outcome. Instructors must be able to energize the students and give relevancy to what they are teaching in order to increase the retention of their students.
I like the video and the 4 things to make an effective educator. I strive to make sure my learning environment isnt perceived as threatening or intimidating. Those characteristics make for a hard to learn setting.
Career learners may be more engaged and remember content better if they can relate it to personal experiences.
"Modeling positive behavior, attitude, and actions will do much to keep the students excited about training to enter the field."
Such an important reminder!
Motivation can be in many diffeent forms such as positive reinforcement through immediate feedback, the student seeing meaning and purpose in the information (content), and seeing the relevancy and relationship of course content. Retention of content through semantic and/or episodic memory can be a motivating factor as well. Transference, by way of moving short term memory to long term memory can be motivating to the student as they are applying new skills, knowledge, and abilities to the field.
Motivating students' pragmatism through memorization and autodidactism with a healthy tolerance for risk is a strong formula for student success. The idea that students will have a solid foundation upon which to think differently and dissent from established norms should encourage the most useful form of creativity and personal accountability.
