Regardless of who, where, or what we teach, we can all agree that we want to foster our students’ confidence and self-efficacy. Some students walk through our doors ready to face any challenge we put in front of them, while others may need some support to believe they can accomplish all we ask of them. How can we empower all our students to build their confidence while not losing sight of the skills and standards we need to teach? In this second video from Danielle Keane’s fifth-grade class at the John F. Kennedy/Augustine F. Maloney Elementary Schools gain insight as her students discuss how this process has positively impacted their confidence in writing and communication skills.
