Practice 17:  Celebrations are one means of developing strong perceptions of personal capabilities. Celebrating is simply the act of recognizing progress. When teachers are quick to celebrate any little movement in the right direction, then they are affirming and validating the people with whom they are involved and often interest them deeply in doing more. With celebration, timing is critical. The rule of thumb is to let the celebration of an improvement stand alone.
