FIAE Chapter 8

In this chapter, there is a part where Wormeli talks about low grades, and how they do not motivate students. I think this is very true. Whenever I get a low grade, a lot of the time it brings my confidence level down, and I can convince myself that I am not that smart of a student. I think this has to do with the teachers that I have had. When I get a bad grade and they do not tell me or encourage me that I can do better I am convinced that that specific teacher has no confidence in me. I think it is important as a future educator to give students confidence and encouragement after they receive a lower grade, otherwise they will not have motivation.
