Being an adolescent today is tough stuff! What if we viewed this time in a young person's life as an opportunity to harness their superpowers? This deep dive will take educators into the hearts and minds of middle school students through a hands-on science lab activity in the morning and a chance to dissect their teaching practice in the afternoon. Grounded in the work of Phyllis L. Fagell and her book Middle School Superpowers, we will reframe challenges as opportunities for growth. Each participant will leave with a toolkit of action steps that anyone can use to foster tween students' superpowers and enthusiasm for learning. Discover how to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary talents of adolescents, transforming the way you teach and connect with them.
