Forman kicked off a new webinar series in August with “Learning in the Teenage Years: Empowering Your Student for Success With Research-Informed Strategies,” featuring three of our expert educators: Chief Cognition and Learning Officer Jenai Fitzpatrick, Associate Head of School Allie Maxwell, and Director of Cognition and Learning Kristin Simmers. 


This engaging conversation offered practical tools and research-backed strategies for understanding how teens learn and how to support them more effectively. Key topics explored included:

  • Neuroplasticity – Understanding how the teenage brain grows and adapts

  • Executive Function – Boosting focus, organization, and independence

  • Metacognition – Helping students become more self-aware, strategic learners.
