My Teen Brain: 10 Things you need to know

Some of the reasons we have found this downloadable PDF resource impactful in our practice are:

• developing adult empathy when kaimahi think about adolescents and the underlying changes - realising it’s not “them and us”, it’s a typical biological process

• reframing the teenager in a positive light and focusing on the strengths brought about by the changes

• accessibility for busy kaiako and kaiāwhina as an entry level overview and a platform for taking a deeper dive

• close links to the science of learning

Nau mai, haere mai 

We are a group of RTLB practitioners working predominantly within a secondary context. We have formed this PLN group to explore impactful and sustainable ways to practice including:

• effective approaches when collaborating with groups of kaiako, faculty leaders, senior leaders

• research and approaches that take into account adolescent brain development
