Essential Steps for Providing Successful Learning Environments
The pandemic will have ripple effects as students transition back and forth between home and school learning environments. The most at-risk students before the pandemic are still at risk, plus we can expect a flood of new issues arising from the uncertainty that was and continues to be. Early and proper intervention can prevent mental health issues from escalating and impacting behavior in the classroom and at home. It can also help prevent poor choices that could set the student on a negative trajectory. Dr. Schoof will address how parents, counselors, educators, and mental health professionals can work together to help students be successful by considering the student’s home and school environments.
