Our next #NACACreads discussion is almost here.

On Wednesday, we’ll chat with author Ned Johnson about the sense and science of giving kids more control over their lives.

Johnson, a NACAC member, is one of two authors behind The Self-Driven Child — a new book that takes a look at strategies to help your students develop the inner drive they’ll need to succeed in life after high school.

Even if you haven’t finished the book yet, make sure to join us for this engaging discussion. The chat, which will include opportunities for you to share your own insights and expertise, will kick off on Twitter at 9 p.m. ET.

Find out more about the discussion and read an excerpt from the book.

Admitted writer/editor Mary Stegmeir welcomes additional comments and story ideas at mstegmeir@nacacnet.org.
