Try to focus on connecting with your students. That connection can help you encourage them to get motivated. You can also try creating an atmosphere of acceptance where kids can have a little bit more leeway than usual to go through their ups and downs. This can be really helpful in inspiring greater motivation. If a student is really struggling, encourage them to do one simple thing a day to modify their own environment. Whether that's making their bed or cleaning their desk, shaping one's environment can fuel motivation.
