MOTIVATION - STUDENT Clause Samples

MOTIVATION - STUDENT. The professional staff should strive, at all times, to motivate students to learn and advance educationally. Each hour of each school day should be regarded as of vital significance to each and every child in the district. Staff members shall encourage industry, ambition, and perseverance in the activity and study that will result in maximum achievement for each child. Idleness, laziness, and waste of school time and opportunity shall be discouraged by all teachers in this district. Teachers are urged to understand the individual problems of each child. They should be aware of the individual differences and limitations of each child. Excessive pressure, the spending of extra time that results in a disabled learner's forfeiture of play and recreational privileges should be avoided. Teachers are encouraged to assign homework to fit the individual needs of each child. Children should be encouraged to work hard and take full advantage of all study opportunities. Children who have been absent from school or those who might well profit from homework (without undue strain and pressure) should be assigned lessons in accordance with their individual needs and capabilities. The individual judgment of the teacher is of the utmost importance in striking the proper balance in this area. Views set forth here are of an advisory nature and should not be accepted as a hard and fast rule for teachers, students and parents to follow.
