When faced with academic adversity, students often feel threatened and outwardly display feelings of frustration. Or, they might be excited for the opportunity to problem solve and work their way through a task. This session will help teachers become familiar with non-cognitive skills and learn how to identify students displaying avoidance traits, and help get them back on track and ready to learn. Teachers will also explore ways to teach non-cognitive factors to their students so they can become aware of how their actions affect their learning.
