Set Goals Together |
"... self-confidence is largely based on our past experiences and is gradually reinforced by successes of all natures—social, emotional, intellectual, and more." |
Encourage Self and Peer Assessment |
"...giving them that responsibility for helping both themselves and others improve learning by encouraging ownership of it is a huge step toward building student confidence." |
Give useful Feedback |
"Learning without getting actionable feedback for improvement isn't meaningful learning—it's learning by compliance, which is ultimately pointless." |
Empty Their Heads |
"...get learners to unpack everything in their heads through review and open discussion to show them just how much they've accomplished." |
Show That Effort is Normal |
"...the key thing that a struggling student has to have an awareness of is that even the so-called "smarter" kids have to work hard much of the time." |
Celebrate Everyone's Success |
"Any kind of success in learning, no matter how big or small, deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated." |
