It's so easy to become discouraged as a student who just wants to began his/her career! If you encourage them to become experts at what they are doing then they will want to constantly be learning new ways to improve theirselves! If a student is struggling, it's important to comment on the progress that the student has made! A little bit goes a long way and can ultimately change a students entire learning experience.

Keeping focus on the students is most definitely the key into the success of students. It's so much easier for a student to excell if the teacher is only concerned about the student's success and if students aren't doing well in your class it's a good time to reconsider a different approach to the teach method to ensure prosperity of the student.

As a teacher, I have learned that there are many different types of students and what may be beneficial for one student may not be for another. Instead of looking at my students as a class I look at them as individuals who need and deserve one on one attention. When a student feels as if they are making a difference and are a part of something bigger they tend to stay until graduation. Also, if you are excited about what you are teaching the students will be excited to learn.
