Building Student Resilience

Abstract

It can be difficult to understand the reasons why students are succeeding or failing in our classes. Depression and stress are some of the main issues that today’s students face. Resiliency is the ability to bounce back in the face of life’s challenges.This workshop is designed to provide instructors with ways to help students develop the skills needed when they encounter adverse conditions.
