Summary

Every school has its challenging students. 

In this webinar, Jeffrey Benson, author of the ASCD book Hanging In: Strategies for Teaching the Students Who Challenge Us Most, helps you know what you can do now for a challenging student in your school. 

From that focus on one student, he explains how you can enrich your team's capacity to hang in with many students. 

With powerful stories of students he's worked with and a compassionate, empowering mind-set, Benson provides areas to focus on and a graphic organizer to help you identify positive and negative influences on the student's achievement.
