In this episode of the Structured Literacy podcast, Jocelyn challenges the common assumption that teacher confidence equals competence, drawing on the Dunning-Kruger effect to show how the least skilled teachers often overestimate their abilities while knowledgeable educators frequently doubt themselves. Using her Responsive Leadership Model, she demonstrates how different developmental phases create mismatches between confidence and actual capacity, advocating for educational leaders to focus on observable teaching actions, instructional decision-making quality, and student learning outcomes rather than subjective confidence measures.
