Every child is capable of learning given a fun and safe environment, and
stimulating and rigorous lessons. The atmosphere should be welcoming and inviting,
and each student should be given encouragement and support to learn. The facilitator
should provide a friendly and organized environment with the appropriate tools to
learn with. A positive minded and motivated facilitator with standard based lessons
should provide various ways and opportunities for each student to learn and master each skill.
