When students become confident learners, the likelihood for success is dramatically increased. Legendary Stanford psychology professor Albert Bandura has shown that “our belief systems affect our actions, goals, and perception. Individuals who come to believe that they can effect change in their lives and worlds are more likely to accomplish what they set out to do. [They] set their sights higher, try harder, persevere longer, and show more resilience in the face of [adversity].” (Source: “Creative Confidence: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All” by David Kelley and Tom Kelley)
