Parents, Educators, Employers: This Conversation Is for All of Us.

What will today’s kids need to thrive tomorrow? That’s a bigger question than college, a first job or a good résumé.

This month, GPS Parent Series is opening conversations about the things that will shape how young people live, work and flourish—from neurodiversity and belonging to future-ready skills, achievement pressure, online relationships and college pathways.

And there are some remarkable people coming to the table.

First up: On Oct. 7, Dr. Katie Rose Pryal asks us to rethink what it means for neurodiverse kids to truly belong.

Then on Oct. 8, GPS launches our College and Career Readiness Series with Stephanie Malia Krauss and Dr. Tony Wagner. Their question is one every parent, educator and employer should be asking: What will young people need to succeed in a world of work that is changing faster than ever?

On Oct. 13, Jennifer Breheny Wallace and Dr. Lisa Damour turn the conversation toward something equally important: What happens when striving for success becomes “never enough”? They’ll explore mattering, purpose, achievement pressure and student well-being.

And we’re not stopping there. October also brings a Spanish-language college admissions program, Dr. Katie Hurley on the new landscape of bullying and online conflict, and former Glenbard West student Dr. Corinne Low on women’s lives and well-being. The College and Career Readiness Series continues Nov. 5 with a conversation about connecting college opportunity and career discovery.
