Content: For a child to truly receive educational equity, she must understand she is capable and worthy of high achievement. Tip 7: Motivation and Enthusiasm
One cannot over-emphasize the power of enthusiasm and positive thinking with children. All students thrive with positive feedback and encouraging words. No matter how difficult a child or situation may be or become, stay positive and enthusiastic. The power of positivity has no limitations in the special education world. Re-set yourself every morning and come into the school and classroom with an outwardly positive and enthusiastic demeanor. So often, we focus myopically on the academic needs of children with disabilities. The education of the whole child demands that we help to inspire and motivate children to live, learn, and achieve at their maximum capacity. Conclusion
Moving a field from a mindset of equality toward one of true equity is not easy, nor will it happen overnight.
