Part 1: Our Students

Part 2: The Experts

Part 3: Our Community

  • Transient
  • Moving “away” from something in traditional school
  • Self-Efficacy-CEE results are not reflective of teacher experience
  • Collaborating in groups and teams is a challenge for students
  • Lacking skills in communication
  • Students are more likely to communicate in person than online
  • Students consistently responded that they feel positive and hopeful about their future (75%)
  • Lower level results once we ask if they are successful staying focused on their goals – they may need help creating and revisiting goals (breaking goals down over time).
  • 73% of students say they are hard workers, but that goes down once it says they need to finish what they began. We lose another 10% when they say they face setbacks.
  • Wondering: What would they say about how goals play into their resilience / working hard.
  • Do students know the vocabulary of the dispositions?
