Voyager Sopris Learning Is Excited To Sponsor The Education Week Episode A Seat at the Table: The Rewiring of Childhood With Jonathan Haidt June 17

A recent Pew survey found nearly half of teens are online “almost constantly,” raising growing concerns about the impact of cell phone and social media use on students’ academic performance, attention spans, and mental health. As more state leaders move to restrict cell phone use in schools, educators and families are grappling with the role technology should play in childhood and education. 

During this episode of A Seat at the Table, Haidt, social psychologist at the NYU Stern School of Business and author of The Anxious Generation; Catherine Price, health and science journalist and speaker; and, Dr. Adam Swinyard, superintendent of Spokane Public Schools, WA, will join moderator Peter DeWitt, opinion contributor for Education Week, for a solution-focused conversation about how educators can help students reconnect with the fundamentals of childhood and healthy development.
