Keynote: The Building Blocks for Learning
Too often educators think they have to choose between paying attention to academic goals and focusing on social and emotional learning. For many, social emotional learning is seen as an add on program or an area relegated to specialists such as counselors and school psychologists. In this presentation, John D’Auria will present current research that shows the connection between mindsets, self-efficacy, resilience and academic achievement. This connection is a vital one for all educators to understand and harness to better support the learning of all our students.
