A Deep Dive Into Productive Persistence: Supporting Students’ Academic Mindsets and Skills for Success

Students believing that they are capable of learning, that they belong, and their use of effective strategies are all key to their academic success. During this workshop, participants learn about support efforts that increase students’ productive persistence and can be integrated into courses through “starting-strong” and “staying-strong” activities. Participants reflect on common classroom experiences using a shared framework and adapt practical routines that promote and sustain academic mindsets in their classrooms. Gain hands-on experience with evidence-based interventions designed to create and maintain a classroom culture that supports students’ productive persistence.
