Lesson Plan
Confidence Quest Lesson Plan
Students will learn and practice three strategies to build academic self-confidence—positive self-talk, growth mindset thinking, and self-reflection—and demonstrate their skills by reframing challenges and completing a reflection sheet.
Developing academic self-confidence and a growth mindset helps students embrace challenges, persist through setbacks, and take ownership of their learning for long-term success.
