Teaching Resiliency & Growth for Educators

The goal of Teaching Resiliency & Growth for Educators is to gain awareness, knowledge, skill, and self-confidence to build resiliency and growth in students, in partnership with both the students and their parent and caregivers.

Learning objectives:

• Describe growth perspective vs fixed perspective and the impact on mental and emotional wellness, positive self-concept, student achievement and creativity
• Explain the benefits of a growth perspective and classroom strategies that encourage growth
• Identify helpful thoughts from unhelpful thoughts and understand their impact on decision-making
• Practice modeling positive self-talk to reframe unhelpful thoughts
• Identify opportunities and communication techniques to engage parents in building growth in students
• Understand support resources available and how to discuss them with parents and students

Evidence-based models and techniques, game mechanics, and key learning and assessment principles ensure users stay engaged and emerge with a deeper understanding of their ability to use their new skills in real life. Research shows that with experiential practice, increased emotional engagement and reflective thinking leads to stronger self-efficacy and behavior change.
