Building Student Resilience Through Positive Connections (Jolt053)


Description
Building positive connections with your students helps to build resiliency, which, in turn, can help them cope with trauma, stress, and adversity. These positive connections can help serve as a protective factor for the student. Building connections with your students is a trauma-skilled practice that also helps to promote engagement, attendance, and achievement. That is why being intentional about connecting with all your students is so important. This micro-course will help you develop strategies for connecting to even the most distant student.
