Cognitive Arousal
-
Yerkes-Dodson Law:
Law states that increased levels of arousal will improve performance, but only up until the optimum arousal level is reached. After that performance suffers, especially on complex tasks.
Goal Theory
Mastery: Students feel an intrinsic desire to master material. This leads to real learning of material. This is the best one.
-
Performance: Student is motivated by looking good. They may do everything to get an A, but don't care about actually mastering the material. Does not lead to retention of learning.
Performance Avoidance: Goal is to avoid failure. Will do only as much as has to in order to not look like a failure. Not a very good form of motivation.

Emphasize your students potential. Show your students that you believe they can accomplish what you see they can even when they cannot. Take a day out of each unit, or at least each semester to emphasize growth mindset characteristics and teach students how to develop a growth mindset. Tell your students when they have done something amazing, but be sure you tell them in a way that they feel comfortable with that doesn't make other students feel bad.
Make sure your classroom is organized and clutter free. Decorate your walls with things that pertain to your subject and will help your students learn what you are teaching. if necessary change the decorations often. Make sure there is a good balance in your classrooms decorations and organization to help students focus on your material without getting distracted often.
Know what your students interests are and use examples in your teaching that cater to them. Differentiate your homework to let students work your homework in reference to their interests. Give students self directed time to study things that interest them in regards to the subject you teach. Jordan loved working with computers so give him time to study things in reference to computers. For math specifically, direct him to materials regarding how math is used in computer science and tie those materials to what you teach.
Plan assessments and assignments that push your students to work hard, but also cater to their interests. Jordan loved Minecraft so plan assignments where he gets to explore his love for computers. Make sure students are adequately rewarded when they do well. A token economy would be a great way to reinforce achievement and show prestige while giving students independence in what they pick. Also it would help students feel good about themselves when they do something that results in a token.
Plan Lessons that encourage group work. Establish an attitude of acceptance in your classroom. Be open with your students; show your students that you care about them and you have struggles too. If your students know you care about them they will be more likely to care about you and the subject you teach.
Ensure that your students know your classroom rules and the school rules. Post them in your class where all the students can see and make sure you stick to them. make sure that your room is properly heated or cooled so that students don't have to focus on the temperature of the room. Show your students that you care and be sincere. This will show the student that they can trust you and feel safe with you as their teacher.
Make sure that your room is taken care of. keep some sort of snack food in your classroom so that students who don't have their food needs taken care of at home can have a snack every once in a while. Make sure students can go to the bathroom whenever they need to. schedule your lessons so that students can take a short nap if they need to so that they can focus for the rest of the lesson.
Remember:
The order is not set in stone. All needs are unique to the student and the situation. #
Most behavior is motivated by more than one of these basic needs at a time. So if we want our students to be focused on higher order needs, we need to make sure their lower order (or deficiency) needs are taken care of.
