    78. The Power and Keys to Holding Our Students to High Expectations

    According to the Opportunity Myth (2018), "High Expectations is the highest indicator of potential growth when it.  In fact when students have teachers who hold HE, you can see an average of 4.6 months more of growth per year.   Unfortunately, low expectations for student success were rampant. While 82 percent of teachers were supportive of statelevel standards in theory, just 44 percent of teachers believed their own students could meet such high demands. When that translates into choices about content and instruction—and into the messages those choices send to students—it makes a meaningful impact on students’ school experiences and outcomes. The system doesn’t send teachers the message that their mindset matters nearly as much as the material they teach or the practices they employ in their classrooms. Yet teacher expectations had a stronger effect on student achievement growth than any other factor we studied." So let's dig into what High Expectations are and what we as educators can hold our students to these expectations! email me at kelley@teacherrenewed.com
