“Remember Middle School? Flipping the Deficit Narrative of Early Adolescence”
In this talk, we will explore the life stage known as early adolescence. We will learn how these 10-14 year old youth think about their own wellbeing; examine their perspectives on their peers’ socioemotional skills; and consider how we might better design learning opportunities and environments that optimize their potential.
Dr. Bishop is also a professor of teaching and learning. A scholar of early adolescence and middle grades education, Dr. Bishop joined BU in 2024 after a competitive national search for the college’s new leader. Read more about Dr. Penny Bishop.
This event is open to BUWG and Women of Color Circle members and invited guests. A buffet lunch will be served at this event. Please register to attend.
