Overview


This presentation will provide teachers with practical strategies that can be used in an in-person or virtual classroom to support students who are struggling to focus. There are a variety of reasons why students may struggle to focus. Regardless, all supports must have a culturally responsive and trauma-informed lens. An overview of strategies with specific examples of how to implement strategies for a variety of student needs will be discussed. We will also address common misconceptions teachers and schools may have when providing students with supports.

Student and Parent Engagement in Schools

Students, their parents, and caregivers rarely fit into the one-size-fits-all approach to classroom design that so many teachers have to work within. This collection will help educators gain tools to engage students and their families as they respond to challenges with their educational journeys. Most of these trainers have been classroom teachers themselves, so each works to offer strategies that work well with educators' busy schedules.
