That student who creates a diversion when it’s time to work. That student who crawls under the table to cope. That student who is silent, hoping to be invisible. These students weigh heavy on our souls and know exactly how to push our buttons.
In this session, participants will:
- learn to identify the characteristics of students living within chronically stressful situations;
- provide strategies to keep these students engaged in the educational process.
