 * "Students will persist more** when they perceive that they are treated fairly and with respect, and adults show they care about them.
 * Students will persist more** when teachers, administrators, and others in the school environment have high expectations for students’ success and hold students to high standards. These can be conveyed explicitly or implicitly. When remedial support is necessary, it is provided in ways that do not feel punitive or interfere with opportunities to engage in other interest-driven activities.
 * Evaluation of student performance should be carefully designed** not to undermine perceptions of competence and future expectations. It should be based on clearly defined criteria, provide specific and useful feedback, and be varied to give students opportunities to demonstrate competence in different ways.
 * Extrinsic rewards and punishments that undermine intrinsic motivation should be avoided.** Authoritarian discipline policies that limit students’ options and opportunities for self-expression undermine intrinsic motivation and persistence."
