“Engage, Motivate, and Build Resilience in Even the Most Difficult-to-Reach Students“
Featuring Christian Moore, Founder of WhyTry, and Cordan James Haveron, Founder of The Comeback Kid Mentorship Program
Why does one student shut down in the face of adversity while another finds a way to cope—or even thrive?
As educators, we see this contrast every day. Some students come to school weighed down by trauma, poverty, and emotional burdens that make learning the last thing on their minds. And yet, others—sometimes facing similar challenges—seem to push forward.
The difference? Resilience.
Join WhyTry founders Christian Moore and Hans Magleby, along with Cordan James Haveron, founder of The Comeback Kid Mentorship Program, for this powerful and practical webinar designed specifically for educators looking to reach the students who seem unreachable.
