Limited Capacity seats available
In this session, you will take a lively and accessible dive into adolescent brain development using insights from medical doctors, psychologists, neuroscientists, and social scientists. Together, you will unpack why teenagers think, decide, and behave the way they do. More importantly, you will discover how this understanding can make classroom management and instruction feel less like a battle and more like a true partnership.

You can expect an energetic and hands-on experience with group conversations, storytelling, movement breaks, and music woven throughout the session. Because the session focuses on how the adolescent brain works, you will learn through the very methods that match how that brain learns best. You will leave with a new perspective on your students and a toolkit of practical strategies to foster a more connected, productive, and calm classroom environment.
