The Promise of Adolescence: Realizing Opportunity in Education
This webinar will explore recent scientific advances in our understanding of adolescent development as well as promising strategies for building the education system of the future. Two members of the expert committee that authored The Promise of Adolescence: Realizing Opportunity for All Youth, Nancy E. Hill (Harvard University) and Michelle Jackson (Stanford University) will discuss recent advances in our understanding of adolescence and opportunities for continued reform in the education system. Teachers, administrators, researchers, advocates, parents, and students are encouraged to register.
Other than a few technical challenges our first session went well (30 attendees!) so we've decided to schedule a second! We hope you can join us for a fun Lunch Time Zoom Session! We can share more stories, ideas and answer questions but mostly, it will be nice to see you again and touch base!!
