STAT Curriculum Bulletin | May 2020
Every challenge offers an opportunity to learn and grow. Although the tension in households may be higher than ever before, this unique time in history can provide an opportunity for families to communicate and problem-solve more effectively than they have in the pastas well as grow closer together. This month’s Bulletin includes a sample lesson on group problem-solving that can be used at home. We wish you the best in this endeavor.
