In partnership with ADE/ESS, the College and Career Competencies (CCCs) Project invites you to participate in a free professional learning opportunity.
Title: Building Confidence and Persistence through Self-Efficacy Instruction
Description: Students who don’t have confidence in their abilities give up easily when they experience obstacles. They struggle to understand the connection between putting forth effort and making progress. Self-efficacy is an individual’s perception of their ability to complete challenging tasks. Students with strong self-efficacy understand that learning new things is a process that includes multiple attempts, analyzing each attempt, and applying feedback to improve.
Target Audience: Special education directors, special educators, individual service providers, general education professionals, and professional development coordinators.
Dates: Tuesday, 2/3 12:00–3:00 pm & Wednesday, 2/18 9:00 am–12:00 pm
Sign up now for an interactive, virtual, 3-hour training where educators will learn about self-efficacy, the ten student strategies, and the process for embedding self-efficacy instruction into individualized supports and intervention for students (each session capped at 30 participants).
Participants will receive:
- FREE Self-Efficacy Curricula (primary, intermediate, and secondary)
- Training on supporting individual students in self-efficacy instruction through the intervention process
- A CEU certificate for completing the training issued by ADE for 5 contact hours.
