STAT Curriculum Bulletin | December 2020
At the start of 2021, we may still be feeling the tail end of events from the previous year. Corona is still ever-present and causing continuous issues across the globe. In the nature of new starts and resolutions, we at the SECD lab encourage you to persevere and use the events of 2020 as stepping stones towards teaching students how to be compassionate, patient, empathetic, and open to communicate about such difficult topics. In this bulletin, we include a variety of lesson plans geared towards increasing interest and participation in remote settings, in addition to resources to help understand how trauma impacts effective learning and how to support students struggling with consequent mental health issues. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2021!
