This week Jen Schwanke joins Will Parker to discuss stories of gratitude from former teachers and educators in their lives. Will references this recent video from the singer Adele paying tribute to her teacher that will warm your heart: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hfb6CSDkWYQ

Also, they address these questions from a principal: “How do I provide resources for kids with trauma and behavior issues? What if we don’t have a therapist or counselor? How do we still help students?

Jen and Will cover several ideas, including:

Partnering with local resources
Considering what may be “cut” in a proposal to bolster support
Deciding what is necessary to support students and identifying the root of the resistance
Thinking outside the box about resources all students need
For those with counselors, supporting them in order to maximize their strengths

Now It’s Your Turn

What stories come to your mind of ways educators have inspired you in your own work? What suggestions would you add for education leaders who are wanting more supports for students?
