Fostering Teacher Efficacy for Evidence-Based Practice with Striving Readers
Join us to learn about the critical role that teacher efficacy plays in improving outcomes for striving readers. As literacy professors at an open access college in Metro Atlanta, we strive to prepare future teachers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to help children who experience difficulty with reading and writing. The future teachers in our program are novices, yet potential change agents. Through assessment, data-based lesson planning and embedded clinical work in our courses, they develop efficacy regarding their ability to implement evidence-based practices. The teacher candidates begin their careers with a firm belief in their ability to guide students to success. Let’s collaboratively discuss how efficacious teachers who use evidence-based reading practices can have a significant impact on student growth in reading and writing.
