To be honest, I had never really thoroughly thought about how I was going to keep students motivated until I completed my field experience this past winter. The teacher I shadowed described to me the weight of this topic and how it can be difficult with the age range and the subject of the students. I plan on having engaging lessons that will make students want to come to class. I also hope to develop close relationships with my students that will, in turn, make my classroom feel home like and will help them be more comfortable with me. I also plan to develop fun and interesting ways to present the standards. I also hope to keep students moving and keep their attention that hopefully will keep them motivated throughout the course length.
