Workshop: are there really adolescents in MBO?

For the development of the adolescent brain we work with the age range of 10 to 25. The development captured by the word ‘adolescent’ focuses on ages 10 to 15 or 16. Our group, though, the MBO student, falls in the 16 to 25 age range. We zoom in on the developments that matter for MBO students in particular. But perhaps more important still: how do we as teachers respond to those developments, and what can and cannot we reasonably expect? The other side is examined too. What do young people expect of their teachers, and how do we arrive at a good interplay between the two? Where do we find intrinsic motivation, and how do we appeal to it?

A challenging workshop for teachers who genuinely want to find the motivation in their student.
