The Power of Belief: How High Expectations Change Student Outcomes
Research consistently shows that students rise—or fall—to the expectations placed upon them. Drawing from the principles of The Opportunity Myth, this session explores how our beliefs, expectations, and daily instructional decisions either create or limit opportunities for students. Participants will reflect on their own practices, examine real classroom scenarios, and leave with practical strategies for ensuring every student is challenged, supported, and believed in.
