Topic D Creating a Culture of Challenge, Efficacy & Engagement
Performance is enhanced when students strive towards specific and challenging goals (Feldman, 1997). The attainment of those goals is also closely related to self-esteem and self-efficacy (Light, 2001). In other words, when we create the conditions in which students engage in challenging tasks, they achieve more, feel better about themselves and boost their sense of potential. So why do so many students avoid challenge? This webinar will explore some of the reasons and identify what we can do to encourage all students to step out of their comfort zone. This webinar will show the best ways to:
1. Some of the reasons why students all-too-often avoid challenging tasks and how to reverse this trend
2. How the Learning Pit® encourages students to willingly step out of their comfort zone
3. The best strategies for enhancing efficacy and engagement through challenge, questioning, and an emphasis on progress
