Scene 5

Create learning activities that are based on topics that are relevant to your students' lives.  Strategies include using local examples, teaching with events in the news, using pop culture technology (iPods, cell phones, YouTube videos) to teach, or connecting the subject with your students' culture, outside interests or social lives.

Students have increased motivation when they feel some sense of autonomy in the learning process Giving your students options can be as simple as letting them pick their lab partners or select from alternate assignments, or as complex as determining their own grading scale, due dates and assignments .

Students perform best when the level of difficulty is slightly above their current ability level.  A task that is easy, promotes boredom and may communicate a message of low expectations.  A task that is too difficult may be seen as unattainable, may undermine self-efficacy, and may create anxiety.

Seek role models   If students can identify with role models they may be more likely to see the significance in the subject matter. Use peer models  Students can learn by watching a peer succeed at a task. Adopt a supportive style  A supportive teaching style that allows for student autonomy can foster increased student interest, enjoyment, engagement and performance. Strategize with struggling students  When students are struggling with poor academic performance, low self-efficacy or low motivation, one strategy that may help is to teach them  how  to learn.
