A
self-fulfilling prophecy is a statement or prediction that influences
actions and thoughts to the extent that it becomes true. There are many
examples in literature, movies, and real life of self-fulfilling
prophecies that are negative in nature. These cautionary tales show how
powerful of an effect belief can have in determining how our lives
unfold. The good news is that not all self-fulfilling prophecies
have to be negative. In fact, they can actually be very positive and
vastly improve your life. There are two main determining factors that
affect what will ultimately happen in your own life's course of events:
what you choose to believe and how strongly you believe it.
You may not realize it, but you have the power to create your very own self-fulfilling prophecy. You have always had this power inside you, and you have been using it unconsciously all along to create the life you have right now. It is the power of belief. Henry Ford summed up how powerful belief is when he said, "Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right."
Whether your beliefs about yourself and your abilities are predominately positive or negative will play a big part in how your life turns out. If you have a generally positive belief in yourself and your abilities, then you will have a much easier time being calm and confident no matter what situations you might encounter. Any short term losses or failures will not bother you and will be seen as learning experiences. You will be much more open and receptive to opportunities as they present themselves because you will not be dwelling on your failures or perceived shortcomings.
The above information was copied from a google search titled "Pygmalian Effect in Education".
I believe that understanding and applying the pygmalian effect theory in our daily work with students will produce positive outcomes for all students. Pre-K-12 requires each adult working in education hold the belief that every child needs to be challenged and guided to a successful outcome. The research confirms that positive teacher expectations, particularly for younger children, will increase student achievement.
One of the affirmation posters in my elem. classroom, now located in my higher education classroom says, "See 10's" it's a wonderful visual reminder that as a higher ed. instructor I have high stakes to guide these young adults in the field of education.
In conclusion, ten out of 10 CCC May education graduates are all currently teaching in a public or Christian school.
SEE 10'S and walk the walk with ALL your students!
