Counseling students & alumni,

SUPPORTING EDUCATORS IN CHALLENGING TIMES!

TUESDAY, MAY 17, 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.  Virtual, livestreamed on YouTube.

Our forum will focus on the challenges facing our teachers, counselors, and administrators as a result of the pandemic as well as other long-standing issues.  Research has shown that educators are experiencing high levels of stress, some are leaving the profession, contributing to the teacher shortage in Illinois and nationally.

What are the range of issues that are contributing to this stress and how can schools respond to these challenges? How can we create caring, supportive, collaborative school communities that recognize these problems and offer solutions?  What are the short range and long-term policy recommendations on both a district and state level that can effectively address these issues?

Our panel will include:

Kirsten Perry

Social-Emotional Learning Specialist, CPS. Past President, Illinois School Counselor Association, 2018 National School Counselor of the Year, 

DePaul Counseling Program Alumni

Kristine Argue-Mason

Executive Director of the Partnership for Resilience

Tanyelle Hannah
