Session Abstract: “Smile” - Right Attitudes Work!
Using a base of research from her Master of Arts in Leadership degree (2007) Bevin will conduct an interactive session to explore what “right attitude” means to you and to students. Through discussing the impact of attitude, elements of attitude formation, including key influencers such as teachers, will arise. This exploration will highlight a student’s need to think about their attitude prior to seeking work, be that Co-operative Education work terms, practicum’s, or other experiential learning situations as well as when working with others in leadership roles.
