This session is about how we as educators can help our young students during this time of loss, grief, anxiety and COVID19. Whether it is a small crisis or major disaster, minor malady or life changing event, bullying in hallways, the challenges of virtual learning or the anxiety and fears out students are expressing or holding in during this pandemic. Barbara will talk about ways educators can create a safe and caring virtual or in person classroom where students can grow emotionally socially and academically in the face of upheaval, grief, anxiety they are confronted with even as we navigate this pandemic ourselves.
