In episode eight of The Elements of Great Teaching, Adam Kohlbeck and I turn our focus to Dimension 2: Creating a Supportive Environment, exploring Element 4: Creating a Climate of High Expectations from the Model for Great Teaching.
This element emphasises fostering a classroom culture where students feel supported to take risks and challenge themselves. It’s about balancing high expectations with high trust so learners believe it’s safe to “have a go” and are encouraged to attribute success or failure to things they can control.
In the episode, we dive into the research behind this element, explaining the “why” behind high expectations and how they connect to building student confidence and motivation. Adam brings a practical perspective, sharing how teachers and school leaders can apply these ideas effectively in their classrooms.
Discover actionable strategies to create a supportive, high-challenge learning environment that empowers your students. Let us know your thoughts on social media after listening!
