Description
Perhaps the most distressing form of underachievement is the sort that insidiously causes young people to develop psychosocial problems. Utilizing a foundation of research from neurobiology and psychology, this session builds on the fact that the very kinds of cognitive skills that schools encourage (learning, attention, memory, and decision making) are not only profoundly influenced by but are in fact subsumed within the mental processes of emotion. Relying on case studies, participants learn about a collection of affective-cognitive interventions that served to reverse underachievement of both the psychosocial and academic types.
No items are available for this session.
