Dear Parents,
Coming this Thursday! Would you like to increase your student's academic motivation, resilience, and independence?
According to Stixrud and Johnson, a sense of control is the
'antidote to stress'
for American kids impacted by social media, homework, and lack of sleep.
On February 27, we host an important evening with
Joel Baum
, Senior Director of Professional Development,
Gender Spectrum
,
in
Creating Gender Inclusive Environments for Children and Teens
(
Woodside MUR
).
On March 5, we present another in our series of 'armchair conversations' with Alice Kleeman, former M-A College Advisor,
Parenting Through the College Admission Process
(
M-A PAC
). Alice will be joined by
Jim Rawlins, University of Oregon
.
Look for NEW videos posted to our
YouTube
and
Vimeo
channels, and follow us on
Instagram
and
Facebook
for the latest education news and events.
Hope to see you soon!
