Did you get a little bit bigger over the holiday season? Well, so did America. You may not have noticed in the pre-Christmas rush, but on December 19, 2023, the U.S. added an area of about 1 million km2 (roughly 386,000 square miles).

I’ve been a school social worker for the last 15 years, so I am acutely aware of our nation’s mounting youth mental health crisis. I know that robust mental health and social-emotional support for students are non-negotiable in education and I applaud the new programs and resources designed to address this urgent challenge for our students. But what about the mental health of our educators?

FAYETTEVILLE, Ohio — Ghosts populate the campus of Chatfield College. They’re in the fading photos on the library walls of students who, over 177 years, attended the college and the boarding school from which it sprang, and of the Ursuline nuns who taught them, in their simple tunics and scapulars. Amid seemingly endless acres of tobacco, soybean and wheat farms in a village in southwest Ohio with a population of 241 , the now-closed college sits at the end of a narrow entrance road flanked by B

This is part 2 of 5. Part 1 – Inclusion is a contiuum – can be found here. There are myths about how children learn which make inclusion appear hard for teachers to do.

Things are hard to talk about when people don’t have a shared understanding of the meaning of words they use. Even the difference between formative and summative assessment can lead to chaotic discussion when it becomes clear there isn’t an agreed definition of the two terms.
