Engaging Adolescents™ in High Schools

for secondary teachers & leaders

How do teachers, student advisors, and heads of departments build trust, foster safe independence and maintain open communication with young people in a busy school environment?

This workshop provides the practical elements and skills for having tricky-to-hold, but necessary, conversations with young people. Student advisors and teachers will walk away with a renewed sense of confidence about the role they can play in teenagers’ lives, without conversations morphing into arguments or the student withdrawing.

Attendees will see video examples of both poorly conducted conversations and, by contrast, more effective conversations using a semi-rehearsed script. This course tackles the best strategies to make a positive difference in teenagers’ lives.
