The Wyoming Enrichment Network and Wyoming State Library hosted the Time to Thrive Book Study of “10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People” by Dr. David Yeager.
Over five sessions, we explored the overarching concepts and learned about the Mentor Mindset. The research of Yeager and colleagues has been a game changer for the way we are thinking about supporting middle, high school and college age youth. As educators, youth professionals, and parents, we are awash in a narrative that often pathologizes adolescence. WYEN is working to reframe this narrative: Adolescence as a time in life – and the individuals experiencing it –are not problems to be solved or a time to be endured. Rather, it is a wonderful part of life to be capitalized on in ways that will have long term benefit for our young people and our communities. This Book Study qualified for Wyoming 0.5 PTSB Credits.
