Effective Motivation Techniques

Public

Discussion:

Gina,
In addition to your strategies something I use in my larger classes (50-70 students) are name tents. I have the students put their names on 5X7 cards and fold them so they will set up for easy observation. I give them felt markers to write with and them them use different colors to write their names. A few classes meetings with the name tents really help cue me. I use your other strategies as well but I find with over 300 students each session I need all of the visual cues I can get to remember their names.
