Resources for Educators, Families to discuss the events in Ukraine with Students
After more than two years of helping students cope with the challenges and complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic, comes a new hurdle for educators and families: Supporting our young people through the biggest attack on a European state since World War Two.
The events in Ukraine are being broadcast on TV, but also on social media as Ukraine residents share images of explosions and damage. The effects are far-reaching with economic impacts that could be felt at home by all, but especially by our young people and other vulnerable populations.
To help students better understand this event and to place it in a broader context, we've gathered history-social science, mental health, and social and emotional learning resources to support teachers and families in helping students process these current events.
