By prioritizing small tasks, the lessons will be more effective. By conveying the direction or path to the students, teachers are setting up the checklist for them to follow on to higher learning. Purpose and direction are essential aspects to convey to a teacher's classroom. .
Without motivation, however, these factors will not be effective. The motivation gives students the will and desire to perform. A teacher can tell a student the purpose of a task and the direction in which to go but without the internal motivation of that student, sparked by personality and learned tactics in dealing with students, these will be meaningless. Motivation is the drive and will to do what needs to be done to accomplish the mission. To instill motivation, a teacher has to know the students and their capabilities. A teacher must know what the students can relate to, what tasks the student are capable of, and what method of teaching will relate to the students. If a student can handle not being supervised on a task, then the teacher shouldn't monitor them. Some students need a teacher looking over their shoulder at all times; therefore, it is important to know each student"s way of learning. To ensure positive motivation when a student succeeds, one must praise them; when they fail, one must show how to succeed the next time. .
Motivation does not only come verbally from the teacher, but it also comes from the actions they do and the examples they set. I"ve found that no matter what my parents tell me, the best way to learn from them is through the examples they set forth. One who wants to convey hard work, proficiency, and the desire for learning to their students must first emulate those qualities. The best teachers and leaders in my life have made me want to take some of their personality traits and copy them. .
All of these factors can combine to make a effective teacher or leader, but without the right combination of teaching the leadership will be ineffective.
