Presented by Denise Pope, Senior Lecturer, Stanford Graduate School of Education; Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor, Challenge Success
Today’s high-pressure, fast-paced culture can interfere with healthy child development. When we are too focused on test scores, rote answers, and grades, we may deny kids the time and energy they need to develop important skills for success—the ability to be independent, adaptable, ethical, motivated, and critical thinkers. This workshop examines the tensions that can occur between students, parents, and educators over issues such as homework, grades, and the culture of competition. Parents will learn research-based strategies to create healthier home and school environments for their children.
