The Learning Dip
Image: The learning dip is the challenge we feel when we begin to learn something new. It can be difficult, frustrating and make us want to give up. Learning feels like this sometimes. Everyone gets in the dip- if we can leap over the dip, we are probably not learning or taking on big enough challenges. Some people even think we should get in the dip for some time every day by seeking out learning that will stretch our brain! They call it the Daily Improvement Process (DIP), and see it as a good thing, not a bad thing. But we’re not meant to stay in the DIP- when we stick at it, or try some different strategies, we can work our way out. It feels good to get beyond the dip.

Be Resilient Poster
Image: Resilience is the ability to preserve through challenges, setbacks and the willingness to risk making a mistake to reach a goal. Resilience also leads to improved outcomes for students as student’s have the belief that they can influence their environment. This is an important life skill and learning quality.
Be Positive Poster
Image: Positive self-talk or self-reinforcements can help students shift their focus to what they can do rather than focusing on what they can’t do yet. Research has shown that over time, engaging in more positive self-talk can help reduce stress, improve self-esteem, increase motivation, inspire productivity, and improve overall mental and physical health.
