The Pygmalion Effect: Communicating High Expectations | Edutopia

"Failure cannot be the path of least resistance in our classes." Love this! Tosha Caston-Smith shared with you:   The Pygmalion Effect: Communicating High Expectations Edutopia - In 1968, two researchers conducted a fascinating study that proved the extent to which teacher expectations influence student performance. Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. In educational circles, this has been termed the Pygmalion Effect, or more colloquially, a self-fulfilling prophecy. Available on the App Store.
