Three Ways to Improve Motivation at School and at Home

  1. Foster Student Voice

    • Give students choices in how they learn or demonstrate their learning.

    • Encourage goal-setting and reflection.

  2. Create Meaningful Connections

    • Relate lessons to real-life situations or personal interests.

    • Help students see the “why” behind what they’re learning.

  3. Celebrate Growth, Not Just Grades

    • Recognize effort, improvement, and resilience.

    • Share progress and accomplishments with families to build support and pride.
