Using praise with students is a great motivator. It can be exceptionally motivating if it is done correctly. Teachers should motivate their students to work hard no matter what the challenge is, and teach that even if they fail at something it doesn't define them as a poor worker but it should push them to try harder. Developing a growth mindset in your students makes them focus on working hard to reach a goal and to not be afraid to stumble along the way.
