Motivating the students and myself

Throughout this process I realized that I can energize my  classroom and myself  at the same time. Providing a high energy classroom can stimulate thinking and set off a positive domino effect for both me and the students. The key to motivating students is to provoke, arouse, and encourage their thinking.  Providing teaching strategies that empower students to learn go a long way to counteracting apathy and motivating students to succeed. An attitude of “I can” is contagious, energizing, and reaffirming, for teachers as well as students.
