Isaac,
The self-motivated students make our jobs much easier. The challenge is with the students who do not seem to have that same level of motivation.
What are some things you do to reach out to those students to help inspire them to become self-motivated?
These students want to learn, try hard, and continue educating themselves. The seperation starts when other students don't want to learn or go the extra mile in learning like doing homework the night before or engaging themselves.

What do you do th try to change those HABES?
I think it's really the habits, attitudes and expaectations that really hurt my students.
Habits, make sure students are using their class room time wisely. Attitudes, I tell my students, my grandmothers saying, when the student uses the word can't, Can't could never do anything! You can and you will! Beliefs, when you the instructor show confidence & true belief in the student, when the student reaches and achieves sucess on an assignment or project, they start to have self belief, and exude with new found confidence. Expectations, is challenging the students, and taking them to great heights.

Thanks, Renee.
These are indeed habits that can lead to success in school. Unfortunately, many students do not have these habits developed when they come to us.
What are some of the things you do to help students grow and develop the HABEs that will makew them successful?
The most successful students have habits of working effeciently and completing work on time. They are focused, listen to assignments and follow instructions. If they don't understand, they are not afraid to ask. They believe they will be successful.
Thank you, Vincent.
Time management is an important skill that not many faculty members help students develop. Often I see students wanting to take an online course becasue they feel it will be easier. During advising, I ask them to tell me when they are going to set aside the six to eight hours each week they will need to be successful in the course. Sometimes I find out that they really had no idea what they were signing up for.
I see some students aware of their time. They seem to understand that planning for their future means planning out their day. They seem more attentive and ask more appropriate questions.
Which HABEs are you referencing?
In order for student to succeed in the future and i think they have to follow this HABE's.
The number one trait they all have is dedication. The put alot of time and energy into their work and it shows.
Thank you for this post, Jason. If he is modeling your behavior because he respects you, you are indeed his mentor.
We will call this student "Joe". Joe comes to the kitchen early and helps the chef prepare for the days demos,, in this time Joe interacts with the chef and asks things about the chefs carrier that Joe is passionate about persuing. Joe gets alot of insight and tecniques on organization and the importance of preperation. He is consistant daily along with this his deminor with other instructors and students is exeptional. He gets these trates from me! being the good mentor that I am.
Warren,
Being able to keep one's goals in focus is definitely one of the HABE's of successful students. What are some others?
Successful students are able to remain focused when various factors try to influence their progress. Take jobs for instance. Jobs are scarce end I remind them that I have learned to manage my money through several downturns in the economy in the past 25 years.The economy will get better. Many are able to envision where they want to aim for, career wise, at the end of their training.Most ask questions slightly off the subject matter, to gain better insight into things that interest them.
James,
Thanks for this post. What can we do to build the desired HABES in our students who come to us pessimistic?
