Let them be the one to also share, create and learn new capabilities or skills that in return can build their critical thinking. This can also practice their ways on being encouraged to participate more in activities. MOTIVATING RELUCTANT LEARNERS 10 Do not overshine the students

11. To sum it up, this in mind may conclude to putting oneself, being the teacher, on the perception of the learner.

12. 12 “Individual teachers can’t control tax structures or national trends. We can’t fix broken homes. We can’t revamp our economic system to make things more equitable. However, we can…..inspire students with our own fire, motivations, research, and ideas. We can give students confidence in their ability and their future. And we can create classrooms that are so vibrant, so full of life and laughter, with such high expectations and such a clear connection to the world, that even the most reluctant learner will be tempted to join in….By focusing on what we CAN do, we can reach many learners who appear to have given up.” - Landsman, 2008 •

13. 13 Note that reluctant learners are not just reluctant learners. Guide them and surely, they may as well become inclined human beings and future educators.
