Always grade work, preferably with diagnostic marking, in a timely fashion.   Don't expect students to do anything you wouldn't be prepared to do yourself!  Try to smile - it creates a warmer learning environment. Tara G Gourlay, USA The ordinary teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. The effective teacher Never Ever Give Up on students. Adebukola Adesanya, Nigeria. We always have to a have a feeling and urge of child's development. And that never comes from outside force but from the inside motivation. Understand the individuals' learning style, behavior and their surrounding environment to choose examples accordingly. And last but not the least WIN their heart. Karuna Tiwar
