August 27, 2021 PD session with Olympian Sarah Wells
August 27, 2021 @ 13:00 - 14:00
Resiliency
The Believe Initiative is a great program for our high school students. This program empowers and engages students to build resilience and recognize the power of self-belief. This session will provide trustees, administrators, principals, teachers, and parents an understanding of what the program can offer to your schools.
The Believe Initiative is designed to engage and inspire students to adopt a mindset that will allow them to see past the barriers they face. Founder Sarah Wells is an Olympic hurdler and is no stranger to obstacles. Today’s youth are faced with similar problems in a fast-paced world that requires them to walk the path of uncertainty and constantly be adapting.
Many students will encounter obstacles along their journey, and some will consider giving up in a moment of adversity. During this critical adolescent time, it is important that we talk about being resilient, believing in yourself and learning from our mistakes and obstacles. By showing young people that even Olympic athletes make mistakes and fall down, Sarah’s presentation will exemplify what will happen when you focus on the process, persevere past the obstacles and continue to believe in yourself.
Please invite your administrators, teachers, and any parents and students that you would like to hear this presentation. There is no fee to attend; this session is open to anyone who would like to hear Sarah describe this program.
