Presentation Abstract
Do your students or clients move out of one emotional crisis and into 
another? Are your dropout rates higher than you'd like them to be?   Are you seeing 
less progress than you think your students are capable of making?   Do you 
wonder why it is so difficult to change the way your program provides services or 
why you can't seem to move some colleagues out of their rut into implementing 
best practices?

Dr. Weisel will address how the emotions impact learning, how previous 
negative educational experiences can impede progress, offer four research-based best 
practices you can immediately use to help all learners or clients (or 
co-workers) begin to manage their education-related baggage, recurring crisis 
situations, and fears of success!

The third session, in this series of three webinars, will use webinar 
participant examples to demonstrate how interventions can be effective in different 
learning situations.

All webinar participants will receive a copy of all PowerPoints and a 
workbook designed to support the webinar as a productive professional development 
experience.

participants, model a careful                               examination of the 
situation, and offer personal situations as a way for all
