There will always be a few out of the bunch who lack motivation. What I find helps me, as well as my class, is that you can try to reach those students that are on the fence and are still able. But there is a median group who are still "choosing sides" and you can attempt to open their eyes. Once you have your teaching style down and have found what works for you the menial tasks become easier to handle. Finding out interests and hobbies can be as simple as listening to their responses, or applying what their learning… >>>

Students will retain more if they have an understanding of not only the method of application but also why the methods are applicable.
Doing activities that develop those thinking "outside the box" techniques will help set the stage for curious exploration of the content being delivered.

we welcome people from all walks of life in our classrooms and sometimes set the standards too high for them to reach success.

is amazing to see how a student who is reluctant to talk in class blossoms when told they can do the work. Giving them verbal postitive feedback adds to their confidence in themselfs.

it is good to get all kinds of learning types intergrated into your class

visuals in the classroom: some classrooms simply do not allow use of posters or anything like that on the walls and the room set ups are very limited by the available type and quantinty of tables and chairs but still I am thinking about the idea of visuals. Maybe they can be made by students in some classes as part of the course. They would be temporary but still there and the students would be involved in their production. Anyone with experience here?
