  Reframe mindsets

  Many students who struggle with school have a negative personal narrative. This course teaches strategies to help students reframe their story and focus on what is right vs. what is wrong.

  Your students won't always agree with you, but HOW they disagree is what causes frustrations. Amie will give you guidelines on how to teach students to disagree.
