As the COVID pandemic rages on, students are facing significant challenges, including:

  • Overcoming learning loss
  • Dramatic increases in mental health issues among children and teens (leading to rising rates of emergency department visits and suicide attempts)
  • Increased gun violence against children and school shootings
  • Prolonged social isolation
  • Increases in behavioral issues in the classroom and beyond.

In this episode, Chris Leonard talks with three teachers about the difficulties they are facing, what is working, what is not working, and what more we can do to help our students and schools get back on track. Chris’ guests are Alexandra Lemm, a 7th grade English teacher in Texas, Allie Szczecinski, a special educator and SEL coach in Illinois, and David Gibbons, a teacher in Texas with a focus on curriculum development.
