The Teenage Brain 

for Teachers

Did you know that…?

  • Your students’ brains are actually overdeveloped, not underdeveloped.
  • Boys experience a temporary dip in empathy during adolescence, while girls don’t.
  • Brain development alone doesn’t explain risk-taking; 13-year-olds should be more impulsive than 17-year-olds (neurologically speaking).

Join renowned adolescent development expert Dr Justin Coulson for The Teenage Brain for Teachers—a fascinating presentation that will change how you see your students. He will help you:

  • Debunk the myths: Discover why most of what you think you know about the teenage brain is wrong!
  • Understand the science: Learn what’s really happening in their heads (and why it matters in the classroom).
  • Gain practical strategies: Equip yourself to create a supportive learning environment and help your students make smart choices.
  • Build stronger relationships: Better understand teen behaviour, reduce classroom stress, and make more meaningful connections with your students.
