When I really try, I can get through to most difficult students
If a student did not remember information I gave in a previous lesson, I would know how to increase his/her retention in the next lesson
When a student gets a better grade than he/she usually gets, it is because I found better ways of teaching that student
If a student in my class becomes disruptive and noisy, I feel assured that I know some techniques to redirect him/her quickly
