Delta West Academy wants every child to be successful in whatever they choose to do – to be inspired as life-long achievers.
So, we instill an “I can do that” attitude in all of our students. Dr. Alberta Bandura calls it “self-efficacy: a person’s belief in his or her ability to succeed in a particular situation”. Students with a strong sense of self-efficacy:
View challenging problems as tasks to be mastered
Are better able to think productively by applying positive thinking skills when facing a challenge
Engage with high motivation
Focus stronger effort on any task, activity, interest or goal
Recover quickly from setbacks and disappointments
Are less vulnerable to stress and anxiety
