In Part 2 of the brainstorming session at the NISCE Launch and Workshop event the focus was on the student perspective.
Results paralleled each other in some interesting ways when the educators were asked to take on the role of students and respond to the question of what makes a student feel successful. The following were noted:
- Positive social interactions during the day
- Meaningful communication with peers, parents, and educators
- Having an ‘aha’ moment when tackling a problem or assessment
- Being recognized for a specific achievement

- Negative social interactions
- Frustrating communications with peers, parents, or educators
- Being overwhelmed by family or personal issues
- Ineffective strategies to deal with difficult situations (coping strategies)
