Understanding the Teenage Brain Changes Everything ... for the Students Sitting Before You and for the Teacher You'll Become! 

 

The Teenage Brain Thing is a practical, research-informed book about the adolescent brain (ages 10–25). My goal is for teachers to walk away from it saying, "Ahh, yes, this makes sense!"

This book isn't meant to be yet "another thing" teachers have to do. It's a resource you can come back to whenever different situations come up in your classroom.

I've included personal stories from my time as a teacher, administrator, and stepmom, and I hope it becomes a book you enjoy and share with your friends and colleagues!
