Just like we have bad days where we don’t have any energy, so do kids. Be kind and take their feelings seriously. #PSY347 #AhaMoment

[Ashlee Edwards @AshleeEdwardsJ]

Be inclusive within your classrooms. Little things like not having gendered bathroom passes, or not lining up by "boys" and "girls", can really help students who don't fit into the traditional binary feel more comfortable and supported. #PSY347 #HowToDoIt

[Chloe King @kingg_chloe]

it’s crazy how quickly a student can improve when you give them one on one time! sometimes that’s all a student needs to stay motivated and focused. #ahamoment #psy347

[Jenisis D Swift @JenisisSwift]

Students feel when their teachers care about them outside of school. I will get to know my students and their life outside of my classroom so I can understand their interests and learn how to support them in all the ways I can. Human connection goes a long way.#PSY347 #howtodoit

[Jenisis D Swift @JenisisSwift]

I notice that I am more willing to become invested in my learning when teachers diversify the class. My day is more enjoyable and I use classtime more efficiently when we ge to do activities and have group discussions instead of only lectures and tests. #PSY347 #ahamoment

[Jenisis D Swift @JenisisSwift]

Students are developing humans. The more ways we can support them and teach to their individual needs, the easier and more enjoyable learning will become for them. Teachers play many roles and all of them are equally important to each students success. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

[Sydney Valerio @valerio_sydney]

being confident in your ability as teacher is important even on your struggling days, it reflects on your students and allows them to feel confident in their learning. #PSY347 #howtodoit

“I can tell you when I became a better teacher. It was the day I put my pride aside and asked my 4th graders: how can I be a better teacher for you?” https://t.co/NR4CFiZ5mY #EWopinion

[Jenisis D Swift @JenisisSwift]

In my classrooms, I want to help my students see that their understanding and mastery of material comes before performance goals and grade letters. Learning and growth cannot be measured with only a grade. I want to minimize competition and help reach goals! #PSY347 #howtodoit

[Jenisis D Swift @JenisisSwift]

I can step back and see that classes that professors actively foster motivation in I do better in and enjoy more. It is effective for me to be presented realistic challenges and have my focus on mastery goals rather than performance goals. I feel like I belong. #PSY347 #ahamoment

[Jenisis D Swift @JenisisSwift]

Fostering motivation is the core of a happy, successful learning environment. If we empower our young students they can begin to tackle their goals in school and life. Students will feel more in control of their learning as we help them become autonomous. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

[Jenisis D Swift @JenisisSwift]

Content and connection in the classroom come hand in hand. I have felt what it is like to have a teacher show me they care about me as a person outside of school and have had teachers show it is all about teaching standards alone. Human connection is gold. #PSY347 #ahamoment

[Jenisis D Swift @JenisisSwift]

Students of all ages have basic needs that need to be met before being motivated to come to school is a reality for them. I will make sure I provide my students everything they need at school. I'll be their secure attachment figure and always show compassion.#PSY347 #howtodoit

[Jenisis D Swift @JenisisSwift]

Motivation and academic engagement coexist in the classroom. If the teacher puts in the time and effort to find what best motivates his/her students, students will succeed and be much happier to learn. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

We can always use more of these. Thank you @edutopia https://t.co/oCOiYkgWrv

If you want your students to be excited and motivated to learn, make sure you show the same enthusiasm and excitement for what you are teaching. Passion is key to motivating. #howtodoit #PSY347
