Resiliency: The Power of One

Society often believes people are products of their environment, therefore, improving educational outcomes, ensuring educational stability, minimizing disruptions, and creating endless possibilities for students from all walks of life (diverse learners) is imperative. For such improvements to take place, however, participants must consider the weight of their contribution, have the attitudes, knowledge, and skills to increase their resilience.

Resiliency: The Power of One will expose students to their conscious and unconscious biases related to diverse learners, provide tools to adjust automatic patterns of thinking, causing a mindset shift and ultimately empowering participants to first seek to understand, separate facts from feelings and cultivate positive relationships with other diverse learners.
