Developing a Growth Mindset to Build Confidence in Composition
Tuesday, January 23 at 1:00 PM ET
Join Dr. Wendy Hinshaw as she discusses strategies for helping students succeed in their composition courses. This webinar is designed for anyone new to Achieve, and will introduce instructors to easy features and small additions they can make to their courses that can make a big impact on student learning. Goal-setting and reflection surveys guide students in developing a growth mindset in composition, enabling them to set learning and achievement goals, chart their progress, and reflect on what’s helping them and what’s standing in their way. This process also helps build students’ confidence about what they know as well as their agency in their own learning.
