Are students emotionally ready for college?
This course is meant to expand the way students support themselves and ensure they have what they need for a successful journey and outcome.
With a focus on seven non-cognitive competencies that lead to success,
re:MIND uses the power of personal narrative to unlock student potential.
Our goal is to provide a strategy that enables students to grow in their belief in themselves,
and in their mastery of the seven non-cognitive competencies associated with success.
Though all non-cognitive competencies are important, we chose seven that we consider to be the most fundamental and could serve as “launching pads” or “jumping off places” for the growth of other non-cognitive competencies.
These non-cognitive competencies represent the desire to establish a fundamental starting place from which more expansive narratives can flourish.
The re:MIND process is engineered
to help students discover their unique
capabilities that will be the cornerstone of
progress in the face of challenges.

PROCESS

Learning to recognize problem-saturated stories and how they can dominate the personal narrative, students are lead to identifying the underlying mindset issues that could keep them from successful outcomes. With a focus on learning how to skillfully and thoughtfully address mindset problems, students learn to develop a greater capacity for dealing with situational problems that can serve as barriers to making the journey from enrollment to graduation challenging.
Recognizing
Problem-Saturated Stories
and Identifying Problems
STEP 1
Students will learn to identify, acknowledge, and accept the feelings and emotions that are a part of problem-saturated stories and recognize how they can affect personal narratives. They will also practice techniques that allow feelings to move through them and minimize the chance of emotions becoming bigger or new problems.
Managing Feelings and Emotions
​
STEP 2
Using the concepts of neuroplasticity and cognitive reframing, students will learn how to look at problems from different perspectives and begin to practice the skill of externalizing problems.
Practicing Cognitive Reframing and
Externalizing the Problem
STEP 3
Through the use of narrative coaching techniques, students will
learn how to find exceptions to problem-saturated stories and
recognize wins even when they feel immersed in challenges.
Identifying Exceptions and
Recognizing Wins
​
STEP 4
Students will examine their values and get connected to their personal “why,” the underlying motivation that drives them
forward and inspires them to succeed. Additionally, they will gain an understanding of fear and courage that will help them
fight back when challenges arise and fear threatens to dominate.
Knowing Your “Why” and Practicing Courage in the Face of Fear
STEP 5
Taking everything they have learned thus far, students will create a game plan that can be applied to any existing or new problems that threaten to undermine them on their path to
success. Additionally, they will be tasked with identifying their current main problem scenario and learn how to apply their
game plan to face that problem head-on.
Creating the Game Plan
​

STEP 6
Students start with learning to understand the importance of exploring who they are now
and who they are becoming as a critical component of student success.
They also learn to recognize the unwelcome influence of self-doubt, how it can shape their
feelings, emotions, and beliefs, and begin to update their self-talk using cognitive re-framing,
mindfulness, and other activities backed by the latest research in neuroscience.
From there, students will explore each of the steps that lead to creating their personal game plan for successfully navigating the various challenges of school and life.
