The following are six simple ways to motivate students.

1. Empower Students to Take Ownership of Their Learning

A student who is not empowered is often disengaged, does not want to participate in class. And is more likely to get frustrated when things don’t go his or her way (If you want a detailed explanation of how you can empower your students, read The Motivation Breakthrough.)

2. Set Specific Goals with Students and Track Their Progress on a Weekly Basis

4. Celebrate Accomplishments with Students
