This document discusses challenges faced by high-achieving college students and how advisors can help build their resilience. It notes that high achievers may struggle with perfectionism, invisible disabilities, and not having experienced failure or setbacks previously. The document recommends that advisors help students see failures as learning experiences rather than true failures, focus on long-term goals rather than single grades or tests, and provide support through empathetic listening without judgment. References are provided on perfectionism, resilience, and the relationship between effort, ability, and achievement motivation among gifted college students.

Teaching wellbeing to students means we as teachers must be well ourselves. In this workshop I share with teachers tools in Positive Psychology they can share with students as well as use for themselves. Even though the workshop is quit practical, I hope you can take away some strategies based on Seligman's PERMA Model.
Libraries are uniquely poised to cooperate with other student support units to a central support entity to give non-traditional students the assistance they need to stay enrolled and on their way to a timely graduation. Presented at GaCOMO12 by Julie Poole.

Read the short (seriously, it took me like 20 mins tops) article and do a write up (150 words minimum) on it.
Ideas for write up portion:
What kind of learner identity are you? Why do do you identify as that kind of learner? What is your relationship with struggling in school? How do you deal with struggle? When do you see things as a learning oportunity?
Points: 20 (which is a lot in this class)

Transforming Students’ Motivation to Learn
Carol S. Dweck
Winter 2008
This is an exciting time for our brains. More and more research is showing that our brains change
constantly with learning and experience and that this takes place throughout our lives.
Does this have implications for students' motivation and learning? It certainly does. In my
research in collaboration with my graduate students, we have shown that what students believe about
their brains — whether they see their intelligence as something that's fixed or

something that can grow and change — has profound effects on their motivation, learning, and school
achievement (Dweck, 2006). These different beliefs, or mindsets, create different psychological
worlds: one in which students are afraid of challenges and devastated by setbacks, and one in which
students relish challenges and are resilient in the face of setbacks.
How do these mindsets work? How are the mindsets communicated to students? And, most important, can
they be changed? As we answer these questions, you will understand why so many students do not
achieve to their potential, why so many bright students stop working when school becomes
challenging, and why stereotypes have such profound effects on students' achievement. You will also
learn how praise can have a negative effect on students' mindsets, harming their motivation to
learn.
Mindsets and Achievement
Many students believe that intelligence is fixed, that each person has a certain amount and that's
that. We call this a fixed mindset, and, as you will see, students with this mindset worry about
how much of this fixed intelligence they possess. A fixed mindset makes challenges threatening for
students (because they believe that their fixed ability may not be up to the task) and it makes
mistakes and failures demoralizing (because they believe that such setbacks reflect badly on their
level of fixed intelligence).
It is the belief that intelligence can be developed that opens students to a love of learning, a
belief in the power of effort and constructive, determined reactions to setbacks.
Other students believe that intelligence is something that can be cultivated through e.
Similar to Helping High Achievers Find the Magic Within (20)

Texas at Arlington

2. Beyond Retention, Helping Build Resilience
A focus on retention leads to a focus on students in
academic peril
Students who are “in good standing” may need
support, but don’t get it because it’s not a high need
We want to fill in gap
3. High Achievers and the Storms They Face
Not having to study much/at all before college
Little experience with failure/academic obstacles
Different standards—if a student has never had a “B”
or “C” before, it can be traumatizing
4. Perfectionism
Help students find balance—there’s a fine line
between burnout and engagement
Seen in the US and in other countries—all high
achievers deal with this worldwide
Sources of pressure
External (family, peers, etc.)
Internal (wanting to compete)
5. Invisible Challengers
A common challenge – invisible disabilities
High achievers may have invisible disabilities – e.g.
General Anxiety Disorder, etc.
6. How Can the Advisor Help?
Literature is really lacking for advisor role—mostly
student based.
Help us start the conversation and generate ideas!
All students need our help—some just need us to
listen more than anything else.
7. Setback vs. Failure
What did you learn from this experience?
Show that bumps in the road are okay, you can still get
to your destination
Look at the overall picture—one bad grade will not bar
you from all future opportunities
8. Sometimes Life Does Not Go as Expected
Calm down with math – show them they will still
graduate
Show what they have accomplished so far – AP, dual
credit, etc.
High-achievers like to see a plan written down
Re-assure plans can change
9. College is a Whole New World AP/Dual/IB Is Not the Same as
College Level
AP – to claim or not to claim
Discuss the cost/benefits of not claiming AP credit to
be more prepared for other classes
Dealing with stress when realization hits…
10. “We” instead of “You”
Use collaborative language
Use empathy
12. Dealing with Family Pressure
Family Pressure
Planning to confront parents
Give major some more effort/mentors/research/tutoring
Let parents know that you’ve tried—show them
Don’t jump ship right away
Send student to career center (strengths quest & career
planning)
Knowing what they are good at vs. passion
Hobbies vs. career
13. How to be Supportive
Be supportive and listen
What makes it important to the student
Let the student talk it through to help guide them to a
solution
Help the student see the bigger picture
Let them have support to have venting time
Know when to send them to counseling
Help students build strategies for success
14. “I want more…”
Achievers have internal drive…
