Course Overview

Children often hear adults yelling about the news, but lack a safe space for their emotions and for civil discourse: Learn how to create one!

      These days, the stream of scary and difficult news can feel relentless at times, even for adults. Add to that the need to discuss it with your kiddos and foster calm discussion even if students disagree, and the task can feel overwhelming.

      We’re here to help take some of the stress and mystery out of how to approach these topics. We will equip you with proven strategies and tools recommended by teachers, mental-health doctors, and psychologists. You may not be able to control the news, but you can control how you talk about it with your students.

      Don't miss this short, practical course on methods to empower your students to discuss these topics calmly and productively -- now and in their future.
