I get students motivated with my excitement for the material. If I am excited to share the information, they become more motivated to learn. I also tell them that learning the technique will make them money and provide them with an increased level of job satisfation and personal fulfillment.
With the "adult learners" it works the same you give a positive feed back to one and then they all try to excell to get the same encouragement.
Little things like great job or wonderful work. I think praise not matter how simple, is a great motivator. I assist with girls softball and a little thing like nice try or you'll get it next time. Motivates them to try and do better.
Hi Ydania,
In your experience what kinds of positive reinforcement seem to work best with your students?

I think positive reinforcement is the best way to go. No matter what age the students are good job or great idea goes along way in motivating someone.
