E49 | Teacher Knowledge, Self-Efficacy, and Practice with Dr. Karen Kehoe

What is the relationship between teachers’ knowledge, belief, self-efficacy, and instructional practice? My guest today studied 34 rural teachers to learn more. Her name is Dr. Karen Kehoe and she is the Director of Dyslexia Services at the Tennessee Center for the Study and Treatment of Dyslexia at Middle Tennessee State University.
In this episode we discuss what the sample of teacher knew about teaching reading, how confident they felt about teaching reading, and the evidence-based practices exhibited in these classrooms. Lots to unpack with many important takeaways for the classroom!
