Steps to motivating?
As I have written before, “Motivation comes from … loving what you do.” That is the crux of the issue. If you do not love what you do, then you cannot create blissful followers. So we now see some steps to successfully motivating people.
Without motivation, your class is just another one block of time that the students have to suffer through. With motivation, you hear things like “hi, favorite teacher!” and “I love this class!”
1. Love what you do
I cannot stress enough how essential it is to love what you do. This applies for everything in life. Dave Ramsey talks about it. Steve Jobs talks about it. Po Bronson talks about it. Andrew Wee talks about it. Success in any endeavor demands that you love doing what you are doing. If you don’t, and you don’t love the idea of doing it, then get out before you regret wasting time and wasting lives of children. But what if you love the thought of teaching, but don’t enjoy teaching? If this is the case, then there is still hope for you. Stick it out. Before I started my first year, I was given the advice by a friend that when I accept my first job, I should make a mental commitment to myself that I will be there are least three years. This allows me to work toward long-range goals and respond to incidents accordingly rather than just reacting in a self-centered kind of way.
2. Emanate passion
Passion is defined as the trait of being intensely emotional. You must be intensely emotional about children, about teaching, and especially about teaching children. If you are, then they will feed off of that energy.
3. Have fun
If passion is the key, then having fun is the way to activate that passion. I joke around a lot. I mess with other teachers when they come in. I make fun of myself. I make up lyrics to go along with the music we play. I talk about my puppies. I ask them what they did over the weekend and then make some fun (non-critical) comments on whatever they did. I smile. A lot. I laugh. I say stuff to the kids when I see them in other parts of the school. I have a cool website for my class. I have a blog to keep parents updated on what’s going on in our world.
4. Stop being selfish
Whenever kids don’t do what I want them to do, I have come to the realization, that it is usually because I didn’t tell them to do exactly what I wanted them to do. I try to avoid getting mad when they do normal kid stuff, especially if it is not a specific violation of what I told them to do. Admit you made a mistake whenever you do. That makes you more real and more relateable. Look at people when they are talking to you. I am trying to do that more. talk to parents. About good stuff and bad stuff. Let the students be nice to you. Let the students be mad at you. Your life is not going to end if a child hates you. At the same time, you don’t get too many bragging rights with friends when you tell them you have a fan club made up of people half your age or whatever.

5. Be prepared
Kids can sense fear and unpreparedness from a mile away. Why do you think subs are so much fun for them? I have come to realize that no matter how good the discipline is when I am in the classroom, anyone else will get different results if I’m not there. After I started to begin figuring out classroom management, that used to really bother me. I would get back from a day off and have a report from the substitute saying that certain students had talked back or argued or whatever. Or I would get reports like, “good class, these six people were talking.” Now that I am prepared for those kinds of comments and realize that most people don’t expect as much out of the children as I do, I am fine.
I also have found that my least productive teaching days are those where I am not fully prepared for the class. Or when we don’t have enough copies of something. I am getting better about these things more and more. I find that as I get better about them, classes run much more efficiently.
