High Academic Expectations

In this module, trainees learn how high academic expectations can positively influence pupils’ behaviour and learning outcomes. It covers the theory linking high expectations to improved performance, the importance of aspirational goals for all pupils, and how to create a positive learning environment where pupils feel comfortable making and learning from mistakes.

 

This module covers the CCF 'Learn that...' statements:

• 1.1 Teachers have the ability to affect and improve the wellbeing, motivation and behaviour of their pupils.
• 1.2 Teachers are key role models, who can influence the attitudes, values and behaviours of their pupils.
• 1.3. Teacher expectations can affect pupil outcomes; setting goals that challenge and stretch pupils is essential.
