    "Social Learning and Emotional Relevance in K-8" - November 6, 2018
     
    AdaptED presents the science and strategies for helping children buffer stress, manage emotions, learn empathy, and build connections with others in order to best take advantage of social learning and collaboration for personal and academic success. As peer and mentor relationships are more salient in adolescence than in any other developmental period, we discuss how this can be an asset for engagement inside and outside the classroom. This is the second event in a three-part series featuring adaptEd, an organization that provides programs that apply nueroscience to real-world situations. Presented by the PTO/PTA from LCMSD and Reed School District.

    "Plasticity and the Growth-Oriented Mindset" - October 16, 2018
     
    Are you asking yourself: How to best motivate and encourage your child? How to promote better self-awareness and emotional understanding? How can you build more cooperation and connection at home? Kelly Kent, PhD, from adaptEd, discusses the role parents play in promoting challenge, failure and appropriate feedback to ensure our kids have growth-oriented mindsets. This is the first of a 3-part series (for all Middle School and Elementary School parents) featuring adaptEd, an organization whose programs apply neuroscience to real-world situations. Presented by the PTO/PTA from LCMSD and Reed School District.
