Equipping our Children with Confidence
This document discusses equipping children with confidence through adopting the pedagogy of confidence. The pedagogy of confidence is a neuroscience-based approach developed by the National Urban Alliance that expects and supports all students to demonstrate high intellectual performance. It involves three shared beliefs: that intelligence is modifiable, all students benefit from focusing on high intellectual performance, and learning is influenced by the interaction of culture, language and cognition. The approach also includes seven high operational practices and uses thinking maps as visual tools to organize thinking.
