\"\"<\/a>Do too many students lack a sense of control over their lives and their futures? And if so, how does that affect their postsecondary journey?<\/p>\n

Join us on Sept. 12 for a #NACACreads <\/a>discussion of The Self-Driven Child<\/em> by William Stixrud and Ned Johnson.<\/p>\n

In the book, the authors argue that too many teens feel a low sense of control, and as a result feel “powerless and overwhelmed” as they make their way through school and plan for the future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Discuss the implications, share your own insights, and learn about potential solutions. Johnson, a NACAC member, will join the hour-long chat, which will kick off on Twitter at 9 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
