Description
The webinar will describe recent research on the adolescent brain, social-emotional learning, and mindfulness, and how new knowledge on these subjects can make your classroom management practices in middle school and high school richer and more effective.
In this webinar, you will:
  • Explore what to say instead of “no” in order to keep adolescent students safe and avoid oppositional behavior.
  • Examine the research on mindfulness and making teens’ neural networks more efficient.
  • Identify what the neural networks around the stomach and heart are for, and how they can be accessed by students for better decision-making.
