Dr. Borba will speak on her research into the difference between students who struggle and those who succeed – thrivers. She will discuss the seven character strengths that set thrivers apart and set them up for happiness and for greater potential later in life. In her keynote and breakout session, she will offer practical, actionable ways to develop these thriver traits from preschool through high school and show how to teach kids how to cope today so they can thrive tomorrow.
