Motivation Part 2

Students can be self-motivated though it may take some work getting them there depending on their age. More towards the age of highschool, it is easier to find a self-motivated student as they are coming fast upon college and are motivated to achieve good grades as to prepare themselves for and to get to college. No matter what age, when a students sees something that they want, they go for it. Getting a student to be self-motivated simply means finding what they want or ways to interest them in the topics that need to be taught as they will then be interested enough to want to achieve their own goals and will move forward from there. For instance, relating subjects such as math to things that students can relate to and enjoy is a big way to encourage students to be self-motivated. Once they are self motivated, it may follow that they will bring their friends along for the self-motivated ride!
