I agree with so many of these great points brought up, but one that I did not see is challenging each student to a higher level. Of course, this has to be done in combination with so many of these other skills discussed like motivation, empathy, learning environment, etc., but getting the student regardless of what level they are to that next level has brought more smiles to their faces and self-esteem. This has brought them to truly believing that they were more capalble than they or others gave them credit for in the past.
