Yes You Can! Boosting Student Confidence Raises Grades

We know the students with higher confidence get higher grades. What’s that about? How do we boost student confidence? With the Confidence Playbook of course. Researchers at the University of Michigan built an online tool to help students unpack what’s happening with their confidence and practice talking back to their inner critic. We rolled it out to 250 students in the Spring of 2024 and are ready to share the results. Come to this talk for insight into what impacts student performance. Stay for the strategies to improve it.
