The New Science of Adolescence: Integrating Socio-Emotional and Academic Development in Research, Practice, and Policy
Mon, April 20, 8:15 to 10:15am, Virtual RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
A growing movement in education aims to address the developmental needs of adolescents. Many scholars agree that a more nuanced and integrated approach to secondary education is needed—one that takes into account individual and cultural variability in adolescents’ development and that is informed by an understanding of the developmental impacts of educational strategies intended to shape students’ scholarly learning and social-emotional growth in a coordinated way. This symposium will bring together developmental neuroscientists and psychologists; education researchers; innovative administrators and practitioners; and policy-makers. Presenters will discuss their cutting-edge work with adolescents, debate the potential relevance of new information about adolescent brain development, and launch a coordinated vision for the future of interdisciplinary collaborations in secondary education.
