Intro to Teaching Self-Efficacy (Primary/Grades K–2)

Join us to empower students to become resilient learners. Teaching self-efficacy increases students’ willingness to try challenging tasks, correct mistakes, focus on their effort, and engage in learning (see the Self-Efficacy Infographic).

This free, 2-hour, virtual workshop is designed for teachers and counselors of students in Grades K–2. Explore resources that are free to all Kansas educators, including instructional activities, performance-based observations, and strategies that guide students to increase their self-efficacy. Materials include lessons (download for free).

Participants will:

1. Explore instructional activities that teach students to focus on their effort, correct mistakes, believe that they can succeed, and engage in learning.
2. Reflect on their students’ needs using performance-based data.
3. Plan opportunities to teach self-efficacy in their classrooms/roles.
