Details for the upcoming SEL session:

Teaching Middle School Students to Persist Through Challenging Tasks Using Self-Efficacy

October 11, 2022, 3:00–4:00 p.m.

Description: Do your students lack confidence in their abilities, think that they will always do as well or as poorly as they have done in the past, give up easily when they encounter obstacles, or feel that they cannot learn the course content or succeed in school, sports, or arts? Self-efficacy instruction can help. Self-efficacy helps students to persist through challenging tasks and builds their confidence in overcoming difficulties academically, emotionally, and in their extracurricular endeavors. During this one-hour webinar, you will learn instructional activities to develop and support self-efficacy. These include how to help students reframe negative self-talk, strategies to help students manage their physiological feedback caused by emotional reactions, and how to view mistakes as opportunities to learn.

Registration is required for all Project EASEL SEL sessions. Please register in advance for Teaching Middle School Students to Persist Through Challenging Tasks Using Self-Efficacy.  

Please view the flyer for upcoming Project EASEL SEL sessions with updated details. If you have any questions, please email Pattie Noonan.
