Building Self-Efficacy
Captions available
The idea
Teachers build self-efficacy by setting goals with students, comparing students with their own past performance rather than with others, linking effort to improvement, and giving informational rather than evaluative feedback.
In practice
"You solved six of ten last week and nine today" instead of "You're above average."
Where people slip
Stressing gradual growth keeps each small success visible to the student.
