Episode Details

Ever wonder why some students who can read and write with ease seem to stumble when it's time to shine in the classroom? Join me, Jocelyn, as we unravel the enigma of underperformance despite apparent ability, and take a closer look at the myriad of factors influencing a student's academic journey. With a nod to Ken Blanchard's insights from "Leadership and the One Minute Manager," this episode promises to shed light on the delicate balance between competence and commitment, and offers a fresh perspective on how to help students unlock their potential.

Experience the shift from frustration to understanding as we dissect why students may hide during writing tasks or seem to engage with reading only superficially. There's a complex interplay at work here, and we're peeling back the layers to reveal not just how knowledge and skills contribute to a student's performance, but also the roles of motivation and self-efficacy. This conversation is a must-listen for educators, parents, and anyone vested in the success of our young learners. So tune in and gain valuable strategies to support students in not just 'knowing' and 'doing', but also in thriving within the learning environment.
