Missed my session at the AMLE national conference in Nashville? Join me live for the same session, brought to you online. We'll explore what's really happening in the adolescent brain and what educators can do about it, starting the very next day.
In this hour, you'll:
- Make sense of the teenage brain: why the emotional brain runs the show, and what that means for motivation, risk-taking, and learning.
- Recognize what engagement and disengagement really look and sound like in your classroom.
- Leave with three practical shifts (relevance, voice, and curiosity) you can try with your students right away, without changing your standards.
- Get The Teenage Brain Thing™ Framework, a practical approach for engaging adolescent learners.
Bonus: Register and you'll get the session workbook right away, so you can follow along and take notes.
