Utilizing the Growth Mindset
The growth mindset is the idea of continuous self-improvement and growth. But how can adolescents implement this mindset? This presentation will consider how to commit to a growth mindset, set appropriate goals, recognize multiple intelligences, stay motivated, work within limitations and develop ambitious habits so as to achieve success.
Vicarious Trauma and Self Care
Teachers are the front line to our students and often take on secondary trauma that their students have faced in their little lives. This can lead to fatigue and burn out in staff. Being able to identify physical and emotional symptoms of vicarious trauma as an educator allows teachers to build a tool box of self care supports.
What Happens When You Crash
Presented by a former firefighter/EMT, this graphic and informative discussion will consider the car crash - from the physics of human deceleration in a vehicle to the predictable mechanisms of injury based on speed, body position in the vehicle and the use of seat belts and air bags. Students have recognized this as one of the most behavior-changing presentations that they have ever sat through.
