As an educator I had to realize that motivation can come in many forms BUT the student MUST want to learn. Making learning fun as mentioned by another commenter is great! I used all kinds of methods including making up silly songs, using toys and games, teaching to their interests and more. YET, there were students who did not work up to their potential and others who worked above and beyond. I could not force anyone to learn. Instilling a passion of learning in all is not easy. I did find that if I journaled to each child once a week, I could get insight into what they were needing and who they were. Each student had a composition book that I wrote them a letter in and they responded to me weekly. To do more was cumbersome. I also used individual spelling lists. I kept a list of words they needed to study in a journal. Each week when I had a list I pretested them to find out if they already knew those words. If they already knew it then why test them or grade them on those. Tests at the end of the week were with a partner. Here again this was very time consuming as I entered words I found misspelled in their journals and answers. Some kids I used words from topics they were interested in as they were excellent spellers. For example, if they liked fishing, I would add types of fish, fishing supplies etc. Making an education as personalized and fun as possible truly helps. In the end you can only do so much. You need to do what you can and let the rest go. As an example I had a student one year that had a family going through a divorce as he had been assaulted by the father. Another year I had a student caught in the middle of his mom going to prison for embezzlement. Those kids would just trying to maintain and theiur ability to focus on learning was tough. Bless the situation and move on. You can pray for them. I hope this helps.

There is little information here to go off, but I would try to sneak in education in a form they enjoy.

Cori’s Answer

Teachers and student must have established relationships for learning to happen on a meaningful basis. By knowing the student, and what their interests are, you can integrate that information into their understanding of the curriculum and how the knowledge effects their everyday lives.
When students know that you actually care about them, they would be more open to working harder for their accomplishments as well as seeking your help when they are not understanding lessons. All this is possible is the teacher put effort into establishing a class culture of trust, communication, collaboration, and a safe place to recover from failures.
When students have trusting relationships with their teachers, they will step up to perform their best, and seek needed support as they try to make progress.
