Building Student Ownership, Motivation, and Efficacy With the PLC at Work® Process

In You can learn! Building student ownership, motivation, and efficacy with the PLC at Work® process, authors Tim Brown and William M Ferriter offer strategies and protocols designed to foster self-efficacy in students. Drawing on research from experts and their own experiences, the authors detail the significant impact self-efficacy has on student learning, wellbeing and achievement. They focus on how educators translate the efficacy-building behaviours of collaborative teams and other core elements of professional learning communities (PLCs) into instructional strategies designed to develop and reinforce student learning. By incorporating purposeful, efficacy-building practices into their classrooms, readers will help students take ownership of their learning and increase engagement.

Readers will:

• understand why self-efficacy is important for student achievement and wellbeing
• discover how to incorporate efficacy-building practices designed around foundational PLC elements in their classrooms
• study research-based strategies that span grade levels and subject areas
