What Students Want

As a student, what do you want from teachers?

This article from ASCD's Educational Leadership (via Generation YES Blog) lists the following things students want from teachers:

• Take me seriously
• Challenge me to think
• Nurture my self-respect
• Show me I can make a difference
• Let me do it my way
• Point me toward my goals
• Make me feel important
• Build on my interests
• Tap my creativity
• Bring out my best self

Do you agree with this list? Would you add anything? Take anything away? If you could only pick ONE item from the list, what would it be?
