Join us for The Anxious Generation, a three-part VIRTUAL series exploring Jonathan Haidt’s book and research on the rise of students’ anxiety and mental health concerns, along with discussion around “the great rewiring” of students’ brains. Participants will discover how more restricted play and increased screen time has influenced student well-being and learning, and discuss ways to take collective action.
While reading the book alongside our discussions is encouraged, it is not required– you are welcomed to join either way! Attendees will need to purchase their own copy of the book.
This event is open to CESA 3 School Board members only for a one time fee of $225 per district! Please include the names of the participants upon registration.
