Amazing way to motivate and inspire your students
It is an admitted fact that mankind delights and rejoices in its praise. Especially at a young age, the need for appreciation remarks on better performance is a little higher. That's why teachers should inspire and motivate their students by adopting different styles from time to time.
If you are a teacher, a tutor, or a parent, you must motivate and encourage your children in learning even a part of a skill. This inspiration can be just a word of praise for their admirable work!
Why is motivation necessary in learning?
Remember, learning is a long process. It takes time, so you should appreciate students even on a small task so that they should not lose hope at any step of learning. You should also keep patience if they are learning slowly. Your bad comments are not good, and they can stop their progress.
You can encourage kids with good remarks on nice homework or the best performance in a classroom assessment. Moreover, you should encourage them by vocal remarks on good behavior. Sometimes, you can give them a prize, award, or reward, but mostly by a few or single words of appreciation.
Some short remarks for students
No need to write too long sentences!
Your remarks can consist of a single and simple word of praise like "Good," "well done," or "excellent," but you have to change your style. If you use the same method for a long time, it can be boring for students after some time, and it will not motivate or inspire your children any more if you do not change the style.
Use of appreciation stamps
If your students are not being reinforced by the traditional word "good" written by you on their notebook and a change in your style is required, there are some modern ideas to imply.
Buying inspirational red stamps from the market
Nowadays, appreciation stamps for teachers are available online as well as in offline markets. You can buy them as these are not very expensive. Mostly, these stamps are available in red color, and no doubt, most of the children love this color stamp.
Such a stamp can also have a star on it or one-word remarks that are already mentioned above. You can choose according to your need. But if you don't like anyone, then go for another option.
Making your own customized stamps
You can get your own personalized stamp as well. You can select a font and size of your choice, and this can allow you to make it more stylish.
Yes, this can work amazingly to achieve success in the teaching-learning process. An attractive design of your motivational, single-word stamp can enhance learning in the institution.
How to make a stamp?
You can make your own stamp using Canva, as many stylish fonts are available, which can be attractive and hence effective. You can write one word or two, like "very good" and "excellent work.
You can also select a specific wording according to your subject. For solving a numerical physics, chemistry, or mathematical problem, you can give comments like "Amazing solution" or "Excellent math," etc.

You can also use a related icon or element like "pen," "pencil," "page," etc. For Mathematics or Science, you can choose other related elements as well. For instance, a number cube or geometrical shape.
You can include your name or designation as well, but the stamp should be simple and short, having a minimum number of words. To be more effective, a star or flower can be included. Besides Canva, you can make your stamp on MS Word also.
After designing, you can go to a stamp maker and get a rubber stamp with a pad or a self-inking stamp. If you have no time to visit a stamp maker, then still there is no problem. You can also order a customized stamp online and get your own stamp at your doorstep.
Sample stamp
Sample stamp or design is provided here. It is an oval-shaped stamp having a hollow font style. This style was attractive to me. 3 small stars are also looking nice. Page and pen are included as icons of education. Overall, I personally liked the design, but you can make your own design according to your need or desire.

I suggest that you should make a unique design that is not commonly available in the market. You can also use your native or national language to attract more.
Effects of positive comments on students
When you use an appreciation stamp (having a good word) along with your signature, the students will like you more. Your supportive comment in the form of a stamp will motivate them to continue their hard work in the classroom. They will perform in a better way when a new inspiration is given by you.

But you should always remember that a continuous same technique or a method of appreciation never works permanently. From time to time, you must have to change it. So, here are some more ideas.
More ideas to motivate students
Sometimes, you can give a special gift or prize, award, or reward. It can be after a term or a semester. There can be some contests or competitions among different pairs, groups, teams, sections, or classes of students to perform well.
You can also celebrate some particular weekends after giving some particular task to be completed in those days. After that, you can gift them a good book related to their subject or a stylish pen they've never seen before.
In other words, the particular prize should not be so common. It should be rare or a special one, but it doesn't mean that it should be too expensive.
