> What are top five things you do to really get your students
> motivated?
· Be positive, fun and excited about your job
· Encourage an “I can do it” attitude (or anti CAN’T)
· Approach lessons from a “problems to be solved or questions
to be answered” point of view not as “I have to teach you this
stuff before the end of the year” point of view.
· Do more 3-d projects!
· Be genuinely interested in what you students are creating
and try to give each student 15-30 seconds of 1-on-1 feedback
each class.
· Use a computer projector to ‘hook kids’ on cool arts web
sites, cool youtube art making videos, and as a visual reference.
· Teach the creative process not ‘how to make stuff’
· Display their artwork
· Smaller class sizes (like we have any control over that!)
Good luck with your research.
