Efficacy Transforms! Cultivating Access Points thru Neural Education

Imagine a classroom where belief is the key that unlocks potential—where teachers, fueled by the power of efficacy, become catalysts for student transformation. This session dives into the transformational "magic" that happens when educators, inspired by Dr. Jo Boaler's insights in Limitless Mind, hold unwavering belief in their students. It’s more than just encouragement; it’s a research-based neural revolution! Teachers act as belief surrogates, igniting students' inner efficacy and sparking the ongoing myelination of new neural pathways. This is where self-regulation meets productive struggle, and students begin to embrace the challenge of growth. Together, we’ll explore how this cycle of belief not only transforms students, but also revitalizes us as educators, creating a dynamic, resilient community of collective efficacy, where doing hard things becomes the norm—and the journey is as celebrated as the destination. Join us in redefining what’s possible through the lens of educational neuroscience!
