Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Holding high yet achievable expectations for performance encourages students to strive for success while also building their confidence as they meet and exceed those expectations. This leads to the development of a positive self-concept and self-esteem. Holding expectations that are too low may not challenge students, and encourage them to become complacent or bored with their schoolwork, which may not help to build their self-esteem. Encouraging positive self-talk and discussing the benefits of high self-esteem can also be helpful, but setting and achieving goals is a more impactful way to foster self-esteem.
