Connecting Teacher Efficacy Beliefs in Promoting Resilience to Support of Latino Students
Sosa, Teresa; Gomez, Kimberley
Urban Education, v47 n5 p876-909 Sep 2012
This article explores the connection of teacher self-efficacy beliefs in promoting student resilience to teaching practice and support of Latino students. Results suggest that efficacy beliefs related to resilience are linked to building important relationships through connecting with students, building on their experiences and knowledge, and understanding the issues they confront. In particular, important to strengthening the academic resilience of Latino students are teachers' views of their use of Spanish as an asset in their learning as well as the sensitivity teachers displayed around the added stressors Latino students face, such as discrimination and immigrant status. (Contains 1 note and 1 table.)
