By reevaluating and planning appropriate class activities for the skill level and interest of the student, there is a higher chance of motivating the student and earning rewards and recognition for showing improvement. Engaging in improved communication and relationship building as well as clarifying class rules, routines, and expectations are also important strategies, but they may not address the root cause of the apathy or lack of motivation. Implementing new class rules may not necessarily address the issue either and may even add to student disengagement.
