LatestShifting Practice with LGBTQ+ Students: Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic
by Patrick Mulkern | Feb 21, 2021 | 0 |
Schools, although sites of victimization, often are places where students feel safe to express their sexual and gender identities and receive mental health support and services. With the shift to remote learning, many LGBTQ+ are spending more time at home. Students who are not out to their families are experiencing increased stress related to concealing aspects of their identity and students who are out but do not receive support from their family are facing rejection and harassment (Salerno, Devadas, Pease, Nketia, & Fish, 2020).

LatestThoughts on Dismantling the School-to-Prison Pipeline
by Hannah Bond | Feb 14, 2021 | 0 |
The school-to-prison pipeline is a system that currently harms our students, and we can do something about it. School social workers have the knowledge and skills – as well as an ethical commitment – to see it eliminated.

Climate Work is Not Just For Schools: Remembering Zappos CEO Toni Hsieh
by Hank Bohanon | Jan 10, 2021 | 0 |
People are mourning the passing of Toni Hsieh (46), the former CEO of Zappos Shoes. You may wonder why I would mention Toni on a blog dedicated to helping schools. When I connect with secondary educators, I often hear that we should not use positive approaches with our students. Their reason is that when students enter the “real world,” businesses do not do “soft skills” things like teaching and rewarding behavior. That’s true..except for companies that are both successful with their teams and their finances.

Supporting K-5 Students With Self-Regulation Skills During Covid-19
by Melissa Tebbs Bitalvo | Jan 21, 2021 | 0 |
A consistent question from parents and teachers is, “how do I help my students regulate themselves?” A common answer has been to have parents act as the default co-regulators of their children’s learning. School social workers have an opportunity to directly address this concern during the pandemic.

LatestFrom School to Home & Back Again: A School Social Worker’s Story
by Carshia Pollard | Dec 20, 2020 | 0 |
"Through this pandemic time, I have had to rework what I envisioned a school social worker's life would be while still intentionally providing support to the staff and families I serve. In this time, I have seen a world of possibilities, where school professionals band together in ways that are just short of amazing, in order to meet the needs of the students where they are."
