Dr John Coleman will join us for our latest Twilight Session webinar on 14 July to discuss his fascinating new book ’The teacher and the teenage brain’. Dr Coleman will show how new knowledge about the teenage brain can assist PSHE education teachers in their work.

The session will cover:

  • Changes that take place in the teenage brain and how they relate to health and well-being

  • Stress, and the impact of Covid-19 on learning and on mental health

  • Dr. Coleman’s research on young people’s perceptions of change, and how this can be linked to PSHE education teaching, including statutory RSHE content

  • Support available for teachers, students and parents to put this into practice
