Teacher Attitudes Double Take

So I'm thinking it was good to be reminded (see last post) that teacher attitudes can have a profound effect on students.  Wait a minute. That was the point of the first half of the story the point of the second half of the story is that reminding teachers is not enough to change their attitudes!

The thing that works is changing behaviors that is what changes attitudes. So here is my idea. In the link there is a reference "To see if teachers' beliefs would be changed by giving them a new set of teaching behaviors, Pianta and his colleagues recently did a study."

I'm going to ask my support team to find that study. I want to see how they did their observations of teachers. I have already asked Chris and he has agreed to obverse me to look for evidence of beliefs that I might not even be aware of.

If you find that reference please post it in the comments.
