Discipline Corner -with JB: As Teen Stress Increases, Teachers Look for Answers
As Teen Stress Increases, Teachers Look for Answers
Author: Andrew Simmons
With MAP testing this week, 8th-grade transition activities, championship games, and the spelling bee, it is sure to be stressful for Ss and staff. Two excerpts from the article are listed below: (I read the article in 7 minutes)
“It’s estimated about one in five teens have a diagnosable mental health disorder, and most of them go untreated.”
"More holistically, though, social and emotional learning shouldn’t be seen as an add-on in high school, or be equated with a loss of academic rigor and instructional minutes: Self-care can actually become part of the curriculum—as some schools are recognizing."
