The Kids are Alright”:  A Common Sense Approach to Teens in the Library
Krista King-Oaks, Kenton County Public Library
 
Learn all about the Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets framework and philosophy for creating healthy teens and healthy communities.  The first half of the training will be an overview of adolescent behavioral and psychological research that lead up to the creation of the Developmental Assets framework, as well as how current studies illustrate the benefit of assets modeling and mentorship in a young person’s life. The second half of the presentation will focus on exploring the assets as they pertain to our work in the library and best practices when working with teens, from programming to customer service. The session will be interactive, so prepare to speak up and speak out!
