Small steps can be monumental achievements. Teach students to learn from experiences. Teach and guide with love and patience. Take time to listen. Each student has a story to tell.
Teachers are role models.
Recognize that students learn by what you say, how you say it, and what you do. By both instruction and example, show the importance of respect and responsibility. Teaching by example is not just one way. Yet it is probably the most important setting for human development outside the home. Self-confidence is the key in the desire to learn.
