Program: Online Professional Development

Dates: 8/12/2020

New
Students can become overwhelmed and shut down before trying to work through a challenge. Whereas, many students can easily apply the skills necessary to be successful academically, behaviorally and social-emotionally others have difficulty. When students are unable to engage in strategic learning, they risk believing that assignments and social situations are too challenging to attempt or to overcome. Their perception can influence their belief system to the degree that it becomes their reality. Student performance and self-concept benefits from identifying that they can manage their own perceptions to improve their academic, behavioral and social-emotional skills. Learn how to gain the positive attention from your students when they are feeling defeated. In this workshop participants will:
• Understand perception as a cognitive skill
• Analyze how perception relates to learning
• Learn to manage the different perceptions of students
• Discover strategies to explicitly teach perception Suggest Audience: Educators, Social Workers, Psychologists, Guidance Counselors Links to the online session will be shared via email to registrants two days before the event.
