One of the most important life skills we can instill in our students is the concept of self-efficacy. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Self-efficacy is a person’s belief in their ability to succeed in a particular situation. Psychologist Albert Bandura described these beliefs as determinants of how people think, behave, and feel. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
In terms of reading comprehension, close reading is one of the best ways to build self-efficacy. The inherent scaffolding a close reading provides sets students up for success.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
If you're interested in learning more about the structure and format of a close reading, message me and I’ll send you the link to sign up for the FREE 8-day close reading email course. It includes everything you need to feel comfortable and confident using close reading as a strategy with your students. Even better, it's filled with TONS of instructional materials and freebies you can use right away.⠀⁣

We just made the decision to continue with distance learning for the rest of the year!! 🎉 Micah’s teacher has done a wonderful job with all the changes this year, so we feel good about him finishing second grade online. ➡️The desk he’s using was my Grama’s old teaching desk (we changed out the knobs). She started teaching in 1936 at a small school in central Illinois. Swipe right to see her class. ⠀

The perfect example of powerful simplicity, exit tickets gather focused data which you can use to drive future instruction. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
