Education Update Yvette Jackson shows educators how to focus on students strengths to inspire learning and high intellectual performance. Jackson asserts that the myth that the route to increasing achievement by focusing on weaknesses (promoted by policies such as NCLB) has blinded us to the strengths and intellectual potential of urban studentsdevaluing the motivation  initiative  and confidence of dedicated educators to search for and optimize this potential. The Pedagogy of Confidence dispels this myth and provides practical approaches for rekindling educators belief in their ability to inspire the vast capacity of their urban students. Book Features: Describes practical approaches and examples of how inspirational educators implement High Operational Practices  offering strategies for dealing with cultural disconnects  the influence of new technologies  and language preferences of students.

Presents historical  cognitive  and neuroscience research  providing educators the rationale and benefits of changing old policies and practices to new ones that will guide students to intellectual development  self-directed learning  and self-actualization.
