Building Grit and Resilience in Middle School Learners
-Presented by Ramy Mahmoud, M.Ed
Whether it’s the transition from elementary, or the continued work-life balancing act as you approach high school, the middle school years are challenging. With new/ continuing responsibilities and expectations, learners can often find themselves at a tipping point. Come be part of the conversation as to how parents, learners, and educators can all work together to help nudge your learner down the "right" path of confidence, pride, and academic success.
Ramy Mahmoud is a national science specialist for Savvas Learning Company, a professor at UT-Dallas, a former PISD Teacher of the Year, and current parent of a Schim learner. Ramy has two TED talks and speaks all across the country about his passion: Engaging learners in the classroom. Ramy is learning to manage this transition just like the rest of us, but his insight on how to help learners build intrinsic motivation to overcome obstacles is powerful and will develop multiple stepping stones for parents and learners to build on together.
