Adolescent development research and theory have tremendous potential to inform the work of high school teachers, counselors, and administrators. Understanding Youth bridges the gap between adolescent development theory and practice. Nakkula and Toshalis explore how factors such as social class, peer and adult relationships, gender norms, and the media help to shape adolescents’ sense of themselves and their future expectations and aspirations.
Michael J. Nakkula is practice professor and chair of applied psychology and human development at University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education.Eric Toshalis is on the faculty of the Graduate School of Education and Counseling at Lewis & Clark College.
