10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People
Meets six (6) times this semester (9/9, 9/16, 9/30, 10/7, 10/21 & 10/28) on Tuesdays from 12:30-2:00 in ZSR 665 (Faculty Commons Classroom inside the Faculty Commons space in ZSR Wilson Wing). We will provide the book for the first 15 registrants. The focus will be both learning and putting the ideas into practice using the provided workbook, with working time and peer feedback. We encourage you to sign up only if you are able to fully participate throughout the series.
Join us for a discussion of David Yeager’s 10 to 25, an exciting new book that explores how we might interact with young people. This book discusses Yeager’s research on adolescent brain development and his “mentor mindset,” offering practical strategies to foster respectful, empowering relationships with students from age 10 to 25. Discover how understanding their need for status and avoiding common communication pitfalls can lead to more engaged, motivated, and successful young adults, ultimately making your role as a teacher more effective and rewarding.
In this series, we will be both reading and applying the ideas utilizing the book’s Putting It Into Practice section. These sessions will include working and peer feedback time.
