UPDATE ON COVID-19

X

(April 1, 2020) ASCA continues to closely monitor updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as state and local public health authorities regarding COVID-19. At present, the ASCA Annual Conference will be held June 27–30 in Seattle, as scheduled. However, full refunds are available for registration through May 31 by emailing [email protected]. If you need to cancel your room at one of the official conference hotels, be sure to do it at least 72 hours in advance of your original arrival date so you aren't charged. 

Please know that your health and safety are our top priority, and members should certainly consider their own health in decisions to travel. At this time, there are no federal restrictions in place to prevent meetings and travel within the United States for June. We continue to hope that the conference will take place as planned June 27–30, 2020 in Seattle, Wash. However, we are currently reviewing alternative options. Be sure to regularly check your email and website for any updates. We will continue to monitor the situation in collaboration with the hotel and local health officials and will notify all presenters, members, registrants and exhibitors immediately if there are any changes.

We are aware of the stress that the uncertainty of this situation can bring and appreciate your understanding. We look forward to hopefully seeing you in June. If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Eye rolling. Moodiness. Wandering attention. And of course, the drama. Teens can be hard to parent and even harder to teach. Here’s the good news: It’s not you. It’s not them. It’s their brains. In this enlightening and entertaining keynote, neuroscientist Dr. John Medina explores the neurological and evolutionary factors that drive teen behavior and affect both achievement and engagement. Then, he proposes a research-based counterattack: a bold redesign of educational practices and learning environments to deliberately develop teens’ cognitive capacity. Medina provides essential information and strategies for parents, educators, policy makers and anyone who wants to truly understand teenagers. This fascinating presentation will change the way you think about adolescent behavior – and leave you with neuroscience-backed, practical information to help teens thrive and succeed.
