Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

In this episode, Jacob and Pam discuss how to help students build their confidence.  Students who struggle throughout school often shut down.  When this happens, teachers must figure out how to help them become more confident in themselves.

Pam expresses how important teaching process rather than the end product is to students.  This allows for teachers to help celebrate growth. She talks about the students’ data, but shows them how they have grown rather than failed.

Jacob shares how workshop teaching is where teachers can take the time to build confidence.  The workshop provides students to have opportunities to improve in their craft of reading and writing.  It also provides time for teacher/student conferences which he uses to build up their confidence.

Join Jacob and Pam while they explore how teachers can help build student confidence.  May you find ways to help your students, too!
