Improving Black Student Achievement

Chapter 4

Worksheets to Identify and Improve Low Self-Image

All of the activities suggested in this booklet can become a part of a teacher's classroom and daily commitment to educating minority youth. It is important to identify poor self-image and use appropriate strategies to rid classrooms and schools of the behaviors and factors that lower the self-image of minority youth and preclude them from reaching their full academic potential.

Worksheet A: Indicators of Poor Student Self Image can help a teacher determine whether a student has a low academic self-image, a low social self-image or both.

Worksheet B: Teacher Behaviors That Support a Positive Self-Concept Among Minority Students can serve as a self-evaluation instrument and make it easier for teachers to improve their teaching styles, expectations and methods.

Worksheet C: Student Activities That Enhance Self-Concept includes activities to help students improve their self-image and their academic achievement
