In this episode:

Listen in as we talk about self-efficacy and how it impacts your upper elementary literacy classroom.

We talk about:

What self-efficacy, why knowing what it is matters in your literacy classroom and how to help raise it. Hear what the research says its impact is in your literacy classroom and what you can do to impact it.

Quotables:

-Self-Efficacy refers to what a student thinks they are able to do as it relates to learning and their ability to perform a task.

-Self-efficacy can be influenced by a student’s environment, and a student’s self-efficacy can impact how they behave in their learning environment.

-Even students with a high self-efficacy will not attempt a task if they don’t feel equipped to handle it.
