Free and open to new and returning volunteers, working with students at the elementary, middle and high school levels.

Participants will learn about key aspects of child and adolescent development. How are students growing socially and emotionally, and how does that influence their relationships and their learning? What kinds of behaviors can we as tutors and mentors expect to see in our students and how can we best support them?

Alice Cohen will provide you with tools and strategies to help you understand and connect with the students you are working with. She will also share best practices for engagement, sustaining attention, supporting resilience, and dealing with conflicts.
