How to sustain motivation in your classes

It’s a mixture of 5 A’s:

Activity – Students need to have a lot of good activities. Moving around, role-plays, hands-on experiences, singing/Variety.

Agency – Students are more motivated when they are the doers, when they are the agents, so give them some power to decide things when you can.

Affect – How they feel. They need to know you care about them, you need to know their names.

Adaptation – Teachers’ ability to respond to the unexpected. What do you do when things break down? You have to be flexible.

Attitude – The teacher’s attitude. What are you like when you come into the classroom? It can’t be you, it has to be the professional teacher in you.
