About This Webinar
Our students live in a country plagued by gun violence. They hear the stories – sometimes even unfolding in real time on social media – of gun violence in schools, on college campuses, in neighborhoods, in homes. And they have practiced active shooter and lockdown drills all of their lives. According to the CDC, gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. This is shameful and something we cannot ignore as educators. The fear and impact of gun violence have substantial effects on our students, their learning, and their educators. In this session, we’ll explore ways we can talk to our students about gun violence by validating their worries and experiences and offering support. Join this interactive session to build some strategies based on shared experiences in the struggles of grappling with gun violence in America.
