Breaking the Learned Helplessness Cycle: Promoting Student Independence

Learned helplessness can quietly undermine a student’s confidence, motivation, and academic growth. In this micro-course, you’ll explore what learned helplessness is, how it develops in school settings, and why some students are more at risk. You’ll also gain practical, research-based strategies to help break the cycle—empowering both educators and paraprofessionals to foster independence and a renewed sense of capability in every learner.
