Attributes That Promote Motivation
- High expectations paired with support: Teachers who believe all students can grow--and provide the scaffolding to make that possible--foster persistence and confidence.
- Authentic enthusiasm and empathy: When teachers show genuine care and excitement for learning, students are more likely to mirror that engagement.
Attributes That Can Hinder Motivation
- Deficit-based thinking: Assuming students are unmotivated or incapable because of background and behavior undermines trust and effort.
- Over-control or rigidity: Excessive micromanagement reduces autonomy and can lead to compliance without true engagement.
