Dear Colleague,

Raising Confident and Competent Girls project is offering a
one-day workshop for middle school personnel and parents. The purpose of
the
workshop is to create a dialogue with school personnel and parents (and
anyone else interested) on how schools can support and foster self-esteem
in middle school girls. The workshop is also intended to help participants
understand some of the paradoxes or contradictory manifestations of
adolescent development, to recognize the many issues which can influence
self-esteem, and to explore strategies that best fit the needs of diverse
girls. The workshop is based on the Raising Confident and Competent Girls
Research Project carried out by researchers from Wellesley College Center
for Research on Women.

What is unique about this interactive workshop?
- It is research-based;
- It incorporates information from four racial and ethnic groups of girls;
- It includes the multiple perspectives of students, teachers,
administrators, school staff, and parents;
- It incorporates strategies that are grounded in the most current research
on the developmental needs of girls in middle school.
