Education / Pedagogy
English term or phrase: affirmation
Communicate honestly, clearly, and politely.
Provide *** affirmation *** and encouragement whenever possible.

....By showing my students that I value their questions and contributions, by respecting the expertise they bring to the class, by *** affirming *** some aspect of their work, I inspire them and help them be successful.

I need to know what word is used for affirm or affirmation in an education context. "Afirmación" in RAE doesn't have a definition that fits this use. Is it still used or is there another word?
