This article describes a professional and research journey that has focussed on developing and evaluating programs and strategies which am, to enhance upper primary school students' self-percepttons, including self-esteem self-concepts and self-talk. The journey started with the development and evaluation of an 8-session program to enhance children's global self-esteem (Burnett, 1983; Ritchie & Burnett, 1985) and continued until an investigation of how teacher feedback can be used to enhance academic self-concepts, specifically in mathematics and reading (Burnett, 1999, 2003).
