Teaching Confidence Scale

Based on a list of 32 teaching skills developed from interviews of teachers in a teacher training program, the Teaching Confidence Scale asks takers to rate their confidence in their ability to accomplish each skill using a 6-point Likert design.  In this portion, the authors stress that “In order to create a measure appropriate for your program, you would have to determine what students should be able to do after completing your requirements and then build a scale based on these expectations.” The reader is prompted to answer to each of the 15 questions least prepared, prepared, more prepared, and most prepared.
