I always ensure and advise students that my office and our conversation is a "safe space", and they feel comfortable once they realize I am here to help them and care about their success.
I have learned that the enviornement in which you create for your student makes a big difference. Students have to feel confortable not only where they are learning, but how they are being taught, and by who is giving them the information. Each student is different so we must cater to each individaul by offering different learning techniques that will help the student. If someone is a visiual learner. they are not going to learn by lecturing, maybe do a little lecture, show charts, or a movie. You also have to understand the attention span of the human mind. The Tell, Tell, Tell technique, allows you to capture their mind in the beginning, by letting them know what they are going to learn, then actually teaching it to them, then telling them at the end again what you just went over and what is to come. Teaching students different motivational techniques is important as well. Help them with their goals, encourage them, give them the tools they need internally to succeed. When I speak to students that are in trouble, or wanting to leave school, I always let them know that I believe in them, and that I am on the journey with them. I have held one on ones with students where we have gone over their schedules, written out their goals, and plans for how to achieve them. We've look at internal motivators and stakeholders in their lives. It help tremendously. It is something I am also incorporating into my new student orientation, so I can help them before they need help.
EQ being just as important as IQ or even more so. I wish there was a more expansive section on real examples to mentor EQ with students.
As educators, we play a vital role in developing students become professionals and self confidence. Students retain the information based on how we respnded to a situation, acted during uncomfortable discussion and just how we treat our colleagues. When they encounter similar situations, they will ask themselves: how did Professor ABC handled the situation. It is not what we say to them it is what tey see that they reetain the information.
Students are the most important constituents, so its important to treat them as such
Allow the students to feel seen and keep honesty throughout the entire learning process. Students that feel seen and heard are bound to build healthy habits and a future goal.
By understanding our own characteristics and how we ourselves are motivated it will help us to understand our students if we understand twat motivates them.
Having a high EQ helps with being in touch and considerate of others. This will assist in collaborating and being a team player in any work and professional environment.
Having a EQ and soft skills is important when working with adult learners.
It is important to present information nicely and in an organized fashion. Motivating students is important.
It is EQ that makes you aware of others' emotions that includes your own. I think, the most successful professionals are those who thrive in their fields because of their EQ. EQ is an indicator of success and not IQ.
It is always important for a person to feel valued. Encouraging our students that they have the ability to succeed has to be part of the foundation of everything we teach!
Educators can inspire students' inner motivation by providing a supportive environment and modeling positive behaviors. I believe all students, faculty, and staff would benefit from learning about Emotional Intelligence as it can make all of the difference in the world.

Practicing positive attitude is like breathing for me.
My belief is that encouraging class participation will motivate students. Maybe not all the time but most of the time.
I try to do this on a daily basis, this helps to motivate students to be their best self.
Learning is can be fun if an instructor is able to relate the course content to current events but one must be careful with which jokes are told.
Bring able to share your experience, motivating and encouraging the student that can accomplish the goal they have set for themselves, asking questions to assess their learning
Interesting & encouraging. I try to implement this at my job daily.
