The Teenage Brain Thing
Because the teenage brain is wild, wonderful... and totally worth the effort.
Does This Sound Like YOU?
- You love teaching but managing the needs of the teenage students sitting before you is hard work (harder than you expected).
- You're a school administrator trying to balance the needs of your teen students, your students' parents, and your teachers and no matter which way you turn, someone is unhappy.
- You love your job but you're pretty sure the challenges of teaching the teenage brain are making you reconsider your career choice.
WHAT IS THE TEENAGE BRAIN THING?
I truly believe that if teachers understand and embrace the unique needs of the teenagers sitting before them, then they will increase their job satisfaction, fall in love with teaching again, and see more academic success from their students.
I believe it is our responsibility to shift our approach to how we teach and interact with teenagers. This will not only significantly benefit our students, but our well-being as educators, too!
I created The Teenage Brain Thing as a resource and action plan for educators to tap into the potential of the teenage brain.
If you are a middle or high school educator, or someone who works closely with teenagers, you've come to the right place!
My goal is to help secondary teachers feel empowered through knowledge, insights, and strategies about the teenage brain, so they can help create teens who are capable of accomplishing their goals, without losing their sanity or passion for teaching in the meantime.
The Teenage Brain Thing has a lot to offer middle and high school educators ... I can't wait to connect with you!
