Stanford Study Identifies Another Explanation For The ‘Marriage Premium’

In Chile, the proportion of births among women based on their marital status has shifted dramatically in the last 30 years. More unmarried women today give birth relative to married women. A Stanford research study shows that “As marriage has lost its normative status in Chile, the marriage premium for children also declined to the point where it fully disappeared. The researchers say their findings do not discount the role that parents and their marital circumstances contribute to the marriage – it’s just not the whole story.

Social-Emotional Learning Is Essential To 'Build Back Better'

The idea of “building back better” has been embraced by everyone from President Joe Biden to school leaders, but if we truly want to build back better, we must start with SEL. Social and emotional learning is the way through which we learn and develop all aspects of our being. The skills and practices it promotes, such as creating and strengthening supportive relationships, are the foundation on which we can build more resilient schools, systems and communities.

Women's Untapped Power In Today's Dating Market

Jon Birger, journalist and author of the newly published book, Make Your Move: The New Science of Dating and Why Women Are in Charge, says, “A big problem with online dating that I address in the book is that the business goals of dating-app operators are not at all aligned with the romantic goals of most dating-app users. Dating apps do not get rich off your happily-ever-afters. Their business models revolve around growing membership revenues by attracting new customers and by retaining old ones.”

Co-Regulation Strategies:

Practical Tools for Program Staff to Foster Youth Self-Regulation


What is co-regulation? Why does it matter? How can I integrate co-regulation into my program or practice? Join interventionist and nurse-educator Aly Frei to explore co-regulation, its importance for youth development, and its potential to improve program outcomes.


Co-regulation is a term that helps describe the important interactions between adults and young people that foster youth self-regulation. Self-Regulation is a central ingredient in lifelong success, predicting healthy relationships, economic self-sufficiency, and physical and emotional well-being. Because of rapid change in youths’ brains and bodies, adolescence is an important time for adults to promote self-regulation development.


Through co-regulation, adults form relationships where youth feel cared for and known; co-create safe and nurturing environments; and give youth opportunities to practice self-regulation skills and reflect on how to apply them in their lives. Integrating co-regulation strategies into youth service delivery is a promising approach for improving program implementation and youth outcomes.

Objectives:

Webinar participants will be able to:

  1. Explore the components of co-regulation

  2. Describe the important role that youth-serving practitioners have in supporting self-regulation development.

  3. Identify practical strategies and lessons learned from one project to help guide the integration of co-regulation into your program.

Presenter: Aly Frei, Senior Project Manager, Public Strategies


Who should attend: Program managers, counselors, educators, practitioners, and anyone interested in working with youth.


When: Wednesday, May 12, 2021, 4:00 pm Eastern/1:00 pm Pacific


Duration: 60 minutes
