Presentation Abstract
Do your students 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?

research on how emotions at the core to all learning, how
negative educational experiences impact learning, and four
