As a special education teacher I have held this philosophy as well, and I've tried to share it with my co-teachers. I think it's important for us to be aware of the level of ability that our students have. If they can accomplish something, they will feel successful, and likely do more. This is motivating for the students to have something they can do and accomplish. It's important for us to understand how hard it is to fly if we don't have wings.
