For those of you interested in how we can use sport to promote urban high school students' academic and socioemotional development, consider attending my dissertation defense this Monday, March 22nd, at noon at Boston University's School of Education. The defense will be held in the Pi Lambda Theta Room, Rm 250. Please let me know to expect you if you do plan to come (either comment on this post or email me at laura@haydenperformanceconsulting.com) so I can ensure there is enough seating. I hope to see some of you there!
Here is a synopsis from an advertisement:
Laura Hayden will share her results from a mixed-methods investigation that assesses the fidelity of Team Support, a physical activity based youth development program, to Hellison's Personal and Social Responsibility Model. Her research also addresses perceived outcomes of participating in Team Support as they relate to under-served youth psychosocial development within an urban public high school.
