Determine the interests, values, fears, dreams, and influential relationships of your students by tailoring the motivational techniques for each student in your class (and for
academic subsets of students).
The types
of support that is effective include having a campus Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander support office, with support workers who are not necessarily connected to the
academic programs but can help with any issues that arise, anything from isolation from family to the financial stresses that come from being a slightly older
subset of students and having to support your own families while getting your medical degree.
