assentation

When students begin to feel that their effort is worthwhile, because of the concern and commitment that the teacher shows for the students' academic success, then you will see a greater assentation of both effort in the classroom and corresponding academic proficiency.

The difference, however, between one benefice and another is seldom so considerable as commonly to tempt the possessor even of the small one to pay court to his patron by the vile arts of flattery and assentation in order to get a better.
