Adolescence on the Mind: Helping Teens Out of the Pandemic
Building social connections outside the family, especially with peers, is key to healthy adolescent development. Yet isolation wrought by the pandemic has curtailed social opportunities.
What works to help adolescents overcome such setbacks? What do surveys of students in high school and middle school show about the impact of the past year?
Two national experts answered these and other questions during a May 5 session at the Education Writers Association’s 2021 National Seminar.
The participants were:
- Adriana Galván, University of California Los Angeles
- Denise Pope, Stanford University
- Lydia Denworth, Scientific American (Moderator)
