It Takes Grit! NM DELT's Cash Clifton presents nationally with NROC!

Taking Training National! 

NM DELT's Senior Training Consultant Cash Clifton presented "It Takes Grit! Preparing Students for College-level Academics and More" for the NROC Network this month. He and colleague Therese Baca-Radler from UNM co-presented on how to integrate Social Emotional Learning with the NROC products to support student success in development studies and beyond. They shared their approach, pairing EdReady with concepts of Grit and Mindset Intervention strategies, as used in a collaborative setting for both mathematics and language arts. Their innovative model uses Adult Education theories of brain research, emphasizing growth mindset and self-efficacy. Teaching students about success and perseverance and fostering a healthy definition of failure is among many of the benefits of their design.

Great work, Cash. We thank you for sharing your expertise with the nation and, of course, with the AE programs of our state!
