Creating a Culture of “Can”

This article explores “Can”.  Can is the ability of students to engage in self-determination, self-regulation, and meta cognition.  There are three ways to develop Can.  1.  The teacher model strategies that will be implemented.   Provide support to the students, and students later build self-efficacy.  2.  Create a culture which includes collaborative learning projects and recognize student’s success.  3.  Use a variety of materials, and make a real world connection.  When educators follow the steps of "Can"   many students will become self-sufficient learners.

    What an amazing article. This is one I will be sharing! The key basis surronding the idea of "Can is a mix of knowledge and self-efficacy that has been nurtured through experience" is a exactly what we as educators nurture through, especially, formative years. As students develop the concept such as "pattern begins each time with the teacher in control, and ends with the expectation that the learner will assume control" is fostered. This is such a powerful article.
