Episode 73- Guest Trish Wilson, Coordinator of Mental Health, discusses school crisis and the role of counselors.
Our latest poll got plenty of attention in part because other polls released at the same time all show the same thing. Biden is doing better than he was just a month ago and there are several key reasons why. We look into our data to explain what we think is happening.Next, we're exploring new survey results that show Americans are pretty displeased with the state of our public education system AND that teachers are pretty displeased with their jobs. They say they're not appreciated, overworked, and underpaid.And, our fun fact asks a question that may not be providing the most accurate answers. Is the decade you think was best determined by your age at the time?

Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, September 7th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by wishing Waffle House a happy birthday and some of the history you may not know about the cultural icon, including the two WW2 vets turned friend who built an empire on "good food fast." Jack Rowlett of Young Voices UK returns to the program and takes us over the pond to talk about UK politics, especially how a feeling that the country is "falling apart" has an explosive living metaphor as 150 schools and counting are not able to open due to structural issues. Is this the last straw for embattled PM Rishi Sunak, when will a general election be called, how does Labour and leader Keir Starmer stand to gain, and what to watch for in the coming months and headlines. Plus, Jack tells us the US headlines that are breaking through and having our friends over yonder talking about American politics. Then, Garion Frankel returns to Heard Tell to talk about that viral video of the school boy with the Gadsden Flag patch and the overreacting teachers, how there is more to the story, how viral videos are not only a part of the news landscape but a vital business component thereof, and why everyone needs to step back and think before using children as the centerpieces of narratives.All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.Andrew's writings on Waffle HouseNearly Automatic for the People: The Great American Story of Waffle HouseTime and Tide and Hashbrowns: A Waffle House Christmas--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxQuestions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

In 1999 the Columbine shooting shook the country and made everyone aware of the threat of gun violence in schools. As a result, schools made an effort to implement lockdown procedures as a way to keep students and staff safe. But with the rates of shootings only continuing to rise, these threats of mass shootings are feeling too real, and the lockdowns that were meant to keep students safe are instead inflicting trauma. So what is going on in these lockdowns that are causing negative impacts and a decline in mental health? Today we look at what is happening inside the school walls during these lockdowns and what it is doing to our students. A common solution that many schools have turned to is School Resource Officers or SROs. What do you think should be done to protect our schools while minimizing trauma?

Joelle Danahy has lived through one of the most terrifying tragedies imaginable--a deadly school shooting at her son's high school. In parts 1 and 2 of our conversation Joelle shares her firsthand account of what it was like to survive the horror of the that day in November of 2019. As we wrapped up, our conversation switched gears. Joelle, a mom of 4 adult children (three big "A" adults and one small "a" adult) and recent empty nester, offered me some advice about getting through the process of sending my first child to college. Here are some of the resources Joelle referenced during our conversation about gun violence: Dr. David Schonfeld, MD, FAAP, developmental behavioral pediatrician and Professor at the USC School of Social Work and Pediatrics and Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

For example, all of the students on campus that day are considered victims, and are entitled to a variety of benefits if they sign up to be a part of the program. The families of the students are also eligible. Both Joelle and her son, Edwin, signed up & were approved for this compensation. Although Joelle says the paperwork is hefty, the funds provided help to cover mental health costs which can be paid for or reimbursed by the state. This is huge--especially if families don't have mental health coverage.

Gun violence is a deadly epidemic in the United States. While most of us only witness these horrific events from the safety of our homes through TV or other news accounts, the majority of us have never had to endure anything remotely close to the terror of an active shooter situation--let alone a school shooting at our child's school. In this episode, my friend Joelle Danahy shares her harrowing experience of living through the deadly school shooting at Saugus High School where her youngest son, Edwin, was a student on November 14, 2019. Joelle shares how she and her family have survived the aftermath of this devastating trauma, the challenge of finding mental health support and important advice about what your child should NEVER do with their cell phone. Her survival journey is a grief-filled yet inspiring example of resilience, optimism and hope in the face of unspeakable violence that has forever changed her, her son and her community.

When schools shut down in March 2020, principals across the world began to panic. But not Tosha-Lynn Francis.

They regularly had 95% or higher student attendance each day and students were posting measurable gains. Plus, teachers were calmly and confidently delivering excellent instruction. Tune in today to discover the systems Tosha-Lynn used to turn her formerly failing school into a school that is truly crisis proof and take away some tips you can use to do the same in your school #LikeABuilder.

A school or community crisis can happen anywhere at anytime. It could be an active shooter or a natural disaster. Most of the time we say, "I don't even want to think about the unthinkable." But after seeing both man-made disasters and natural disasters increase by 750 percent and 223 percent, respectively. Maybe it is time to instead "think about the thinkable." That's the advice of my guest this week, Dr. David Schonfeld, MD, FAAP, Director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement. Dr. Schonfeld returns to Anchored in Education this week to talk about how we can support students, schools, and communities in crisis situations. We also talk how we can prepare students ahead of a crisis as well as the support needed following an event. If you haven't had the chance, check out last week's episode where Dr. Schonfeld and I discussed Supporting the Grieving Student.

If you are like me, you have probably had little to no formal preparation on how to support a grieving student. Yet, how many times have you had a grieving student in your classroom? Did you even know? Depending on their age, students display signs of grieving differently. I was a student who lost a parent before completing high school. My teachers were not prepared. In my time in education, I have witnessed students lose someone close to them due to illness, suicide, homicide, or some other tragic event. Though I've learned a little more over the years, I would still not say I am prepared. I felt we needed an expert to help us out. In my opinion, there is no need to look any further than Dr. David Schonfeld, MD, FAAP, Director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement. Dr. Schonfeld has provided consultation and training to schools on supporting students and staff at times of crisis and loss for over 30 years. After listening to this week's Anchored in Education episode, head over to www.escottengland.com to find the show notes.

Dr. Gabriel Lomas talks to Dr. Will Marling
Dr. Gabe Lomas and Dr. Bruce Perry share insights on School Crisis and Trauma
When children are victims of a disaster, a school shooting, or perhaps the loss of a classmate or someone close to them, we, as parents, teachers, or mental health professionals need to know how best to assist their grieving process. As the media reports on school shootings, deaths of children, and tragedy beyond comprehension, one comforting thought is there are trained professionals ready to step in during and after the crisis to help children deal with the loss. Returning Shattered Lives Radio guest, Dr. David Schonfeld is tops in the field of child bereavement and now heads the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement (NCSCB) which "aims to help prepare professionals working in schools, health care settings, and other community sites to be better prepared to meet children’s needs during and after crisis and loss."
