Moving Students Beyond Risk to Resiliency (18 November 2009)
This solution-oriented workshop answers the question: How do we move kids beyond risk to resiliency and well-being? Participants gain knowledge about critical protective factors known through research to enhance well-being and support student success. Participants use the framework in an interactive, hands-on way to analyze current conditions, determine desirable outcomes, shape ways to achieve them, and evaluate the results. The workshop offers a dynamic framework for achieving significant outcomes in both prevention and education.
Workshop participants will:
• Engage in hands-on, highly interactive explorations of critical factors
affecting student well-being and academic success.
• Discover the key protective factor ensuring resiliency for all kids.
• Utilize the mental models and tools of the framework, gaining
skills and confidence in the process.
• Discover key points for leveraging change in the classroom or workplace.
• Learn how to successfully engage in the business of desireable change.
• Leave with a plan of action keyed to outcomes identified during the workshop.
• Have a great time and take away tools for making positive change!
