Session Description
Both academic studies and anecdotal evidence inform college teachers, particularly developmental writing instructors that stress can interfere with academic performance. Composition teachers can help inform students of strategies to help keep their life and writing-related stress levels at a manageable level as to not interfere with the quality of their written assignments. Strategies to use include integrating humor and positive /constructive criticism, building community, teaching mindfulness and positive self-talk, and emphasizing growth mindset and self-care.

Hi Frances,
I really enjoyed your presentation. I also teach developmental writing. A research stream I’m pursuing is how to teach students self-efficacy and how to be proactive in the face of challenges. What you are doing here is similar to what I’m working on. If you would like to team up for a research study of some sort we might be able to do something neat with our ideas!
