Instilling students with a love for learning: the kind of authentic learning that is actually self-discovery. School should be experiential and utilize hands-on type instruction as often as possible. Textbooks are resources and cannot be expected to address all classroom dynamics and learning styles, ideas for lessons, projects, activities and assessments should be allowed to be spontaneous. The most important aspect of teaching is creating an environment which supports students on an individualized basis, so that every student feels promoted, argued for, held up and kept going in a dynamic and situational fashion. Knowledge of true support requires applying psychological principles to learning, The better students' minds and lives are understood, the greater advances can be made in their academic receptivity. This understanding requires examining cognitive and behavioral functions as well as a knowledge of cultural influences in order to assist students in using their own internal resources to achieve their goals
