The students frame of mind is of the utmost importance.
I have found in most cases, showing a personal interest in the student can help them to get the job done. I always encourage my
students to do their personal best based on the circumstances they are facing in life.
Kitt, giving one's personal best is all we can ask any learner to do.

Frame of mind is everything in the classroom setting. Students often need to be reminded of the goal and the road to getting there. If they can be motivated to do their best, they are open to learn.
True. We cannot fix all things. Frame of mind can either make or break a student. Even if their heart is there, if the mind is not there the student does not gain.
Sharika, I agree with your observation here.

The frame of mind has a strong impact on the learning process. Being well-focused can improve the learning process.
If the instructor is not focused on the material for class then the students miss out on information and they will also not be focused on the work.
Instructors should view themselves as evaluators. With that in mind, they should not only evaluate student but assess the effect of their teaching on students. Teachers should seek feedback about their theaching thus adapt, change or continue their methods. By getting to know students frame of mind, they will assess individual differences and adapt accordingly.
