Successful learning is as much about emotion as it is about cognition.
Discover how to manage the emotional dynamics of learning success and build strong relationships in order to realize profound achievement gains. Bestselling author Rick Stiggins shares important lessons learned from his career—most importantly, how to help students become confident, lifelong learners.
Separate chapters for teachers, parents, and school leaders discuss how to form teams to explore home and school partnerships, the keys to effective learning, a growth mindset, the Visible Learning® research, and assessment FOR learning. Rick shows us how to ensure students
- Understand the learning targets
- Are able to monitor their own progress
- Can act assertively to close the gap between where they are now and where they need to be
Call it self-efficacy, student agency, or internal locus of control—the label doesn’t matter. What does matter is that every student discovers that they can meet whatever challenges our rapidly changing society presents.
Important Offer From Rick
As you will see or have seen, I use this public service, public domain video to introduce the new book I have just published with Corwin entitled, Give Our Students the Gift of Confidence. This book opens diverse pathways to instructional strategies that support the development of academic confidence and important achievement gains.
To encourage local educators to tap into these pathways, I make this additional offer: For those districts that purchase copies of my book for their entire faculty (minimum of 50 books), I will present a 60-90-minute live Zoom workshop on the developing of academic confidence for your teachers and school leaders at no cost to you at a time that is convenient for you. Local districts are taking advantage of this offer already and are very excited about moving forward on this priority. If you wish to discuss my offer, please contact me through this website. Thanks for considering this opportunity. I would be honored to work with you.
