Lesson plan: Workshop to help students adapt to higher level studies and build adaptability and coping strategies

<p dir="ltr">An agnostic/generic lesson plan for a workshop to help learners transition to new/higher levels of education. Designed to be fully adaptable for your context.</p><p dir="ltr">This is best run as an induction session but can be run at any point in the student journey with appropriate adaptations.</p><p dir="ltr">The original pilot was a 2-hour session for groups of 20 students. The two cohorts (130 students) who attended this workshop had 40% fewer fails, a significant rise in distinctions and approximately 50% fewer deferrals compared to two earlier cohorts who did not have the benefit of the workshop. The pilot has been successfully adapted to a 1-hour session for 483 students.</p><p dir="ltr">There are two documents: a lesson plan for those teaching the workshop, and slides for use in the workshop.</p>
