Understanding Teen Behavior In-Person
Teens and their libraries face unique challenges post-pandemic. This workshop for library staff of all types addresses teens' evolving social and emotional needs. We'll explore developmental stages, effective responses to boundary-testing behaviors, and strategies to support and engage teens. We'll also share our own experiences and approaches for a positive library environment with each other as a group.
As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Identify “ages and stages” teen behaviors for at least one teen developmental group.
2. Define social-emotional learning (SEL) and explain where libraries can fit in to develop SEL skills in teens.
3. Make connections with other library staff and brainstorm approaches for dealing with teens.
