Well you don't say an age...but what I saw working is
Good grades on quizzes, exempted you from tests.
Assignments that are fun and creative.
Recognition - not just for good grades, but for good effort and other things, try to recognize every one in the class not just the really smart kids.
Even the class clown can be a major contributor if you take the remarks made and incorporate them into the lesson.
Even tests can be fun- give a test where the students have to design a video game using 10 major points from whatever.

For myself, i was always the laid back student that didn't care much about school. I finally became motivated when i had an english teacher not only discover, but encourage my potential. She did it by taking me aside and talking with me and giving empowered talks about where i was headed and what i was capable of. But of course all kids are different.

Well when I was a child, back in the 60's, the nuns used rulers and a quick backhand, with the threat of sending a note home to the parents or worse send you to the priest and a note to your parents. That was motivation.

Praising them when they do well, which will make them feel great and so smart. If you have to, threaten to take away a priviledge or keep them for a short detention if they are really not focussing. Always a good motivator for me!
