This material was created for the Increasing Academic Achievement Study conducted by The National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented (NRC/GT) at the University of Connecticut. The NRC/GT developed five intervention strategies, and this intervention on Self-Efficacy was one of them. Throughout this website we will alternate between "he" and "she" when referring to a student to avoid gender inequity.

This website contains background information and specific strategies that educators can use to increase their students' self-efficacy. 

This self-efficacy material was developed by Dr. Del Siegle at the Neag Center for Gifted Education at the University of Connecticut. It may not be reproduced or distributed beyond this website.
