Conversations with the Dean: Empowering Students to Plan for Their Futures

Educators have an important role to play in setting students up for future success. By fostering social emotional skills, career exploration, and executive functioning, they can support not only academic growth but also learners’ self-awareness and identity formation. Join Dean Bishop for a discussion with a panel of experts about the ways educators can support positive youth development in school settings and to learn more about MyCAP (My Career and Academic Plan), a holistic, multi-year planning tool that engages students in planning for their futures.

Conversations with the Dean are casual, discussion-style webinars led by BU Wheelock Dean Penny Bishop that dig in on some of the most pressing topics in education with leading experts in the field.
