Motivate Your Students With Motivational Quote Posters

3-5· All Freebies

The beginning of the school year {or anytime really} is a great time to use Motivational Quote Posters to address the emotional state of your students. To learn best, one needs to be in a positive, or at least neutral,  emotional state.

Have you ever tried to do something when you’re angry, upset or frightened? Even just confused, bored or annoyed? In those emotional states, the simplest of things can become difficult.

It makes sense then, that the same would hold true for our students, maybe even more so for those students with special needs and/or emotional regulation challenges.

Why Use Motivational Quote Posters?

I’m always taking classes to try to learn new and interesting things to help me, my children and my following. Currently, I’m taking a very interesting on-line class about the brain. I am loving this class and learning such interesting things!

One of the things that the instructor Jim Kwik says, is that your brain is like a computer, and it will run whatever program you feed into it.

In other words, if you tell yourself you can’t do something, you probably won’t be able to. If you tell yourself something is hard, it probably will be. If you tell yourself you’re not going to like something, you probably won’t.

You get the idea.

So How Do You Motivate Your “Hard To Motivate” Students?

Well the answer really depends on why the student is hard to motivate. What is going on that is getting them in a negative place emotionally? We always want to understand the cause of a behavior, as best we can, before trying to address or “fix” it.  Click Here to read my blog post for more on this topic.

While your there, you can grab your free copy of these beautiful motivational quote posters. The quotes are from the popular early childhood folks at Winnie the Pooh, however, they are actually quite profound and perfect for your upper elementary classroom.
