Resilient Learners: Self-Efficacy and Project-Based Learning

What We'll Cover

The learners in our classrooms come to us with a wide range of life experiences, linguistic backgrounds, prior skills, and knowledge. How can we build on their strengths to develop resilient learners who can persevere in difficult learning tasks, express their wants and needs respectfully, and apply strategies of self-regulation? Join Dr. Amy Gaumer Erickson and Dr. Amy Baeder as they share practical ways you can empower your learners through self-efficacy strategies in a project-based learning environment.

In this webinar, you will:

  • Learn how project-based learning and student self-efficacy impact student engagement
  • Explore evidence-based instructional strategies students can use when learning gets hard
  • Identify opportunities for students to practice self-efficacy strategies within project-based learning
  • Extend your learning by accessing resources
  • Determine the next steps in your learning and implementation journey
