In any kind of course or classroom, working together with the students to set goals or expectations that the students can work towards. Not all students will be interested in every single on of the courses that they have to take, especially mandatory classes that are required for them to graduate.

By working with the students to create a goal in the class, even something as simple as passing in the course or learning certain concepts, the students may become motivated towards obtaining that goal. Having periodic meetings with the student throughout the semester and school year can also help the students to see what their progress is and discuss what they and you can do to help them narrow the gap between their current level and their goal. Having that endpoint in mind helps individuals to envision the necessary steps that have to be taken in order to reach that goal
