In some of our favorite movies, we love watching underdogs guided by a wise mentor who helps them rise to the challenge. These mentors all share one key trait—they believe their mentees can go further than they ever imagined and hold them to high standards throughout their journey. In the same way, setting high expectations in the classroom can unlock students' potential, helping them achieve more than they ever thought possible.

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Chevalier, Director of Funding at FranklinCovey Education, and Kim Yaris, M.Ed., Content Creator and Researcher at FranklinCovey Education, explore how high expectations can transform learning. They start by sharing personal stories of teachers who pushed them to reach new heights, showing the power of belief and encouragement. Next, they define what high expectations look like in practice, discuss the common challenges teachers face in setting these goals, and offer practical strategies to overcome those barriers. This episode is packed with valuable insights that will help your students grow and succeed in ways they never expected.
