The task of teachers is to help every student in their class. This includes difficult or uninterested students, because all students have something to offer, and something to gain from your class.

 Start by simply highlighting students’ progress with recognition, rewards, and encouragement throughout the term. Use students’ breakthroughs, high scores on homework and exams, leadership skills displayed in class or group projects, extra credit work, or in-class competitions to call out your students’ wins to make learning the curriculum a positive experience. 

 Honouring students’ achievements will get them excited to come to class and eager to participate. The more students partake in class—the more they’ll learn about subject concepts—building and improving upon their critical thinking skills. When students start to see the benefits that come from doing well in class, educators can start to connect in-class achievements with constructive feedback that can be used in school and in life generally. 


 Try to share multiple ways that the Subject content can be applied in a career setting. Also share examples of how to use the subject content in students' future careers. Encourage students to add the knowledge acquired in the subject to their life’s toolbox because they will never know when they might need it
