County human services has an obligation to youth with behavioral or mental health needs - especially when the needs manifest in the home or community settings. Your area's Community Health Needs Assessment will inform the intersection of county services, medical services, and school services for youth. Many of you shared collaborative professional development with neighboring districts - terrific! WEEK 3 SHOUTOUTS were given to 5 students. WEEK 4: We will address suicide prevention resources, DPI's Trauma Sensitive Schools, CDC School Connectedness, Wisconsin Indian Education Association, and UW-Madison's Multicultural Center. REFLECTIVE TEACHING ANNOTATION: Understand mental health screeners versus assessments. We are in the midst of a disruption phase in education as OHI, 504, and Long COVID introduce more medical assessments and needs into schools. How are schools adapting and what might be a more permanent solution? Why to consider school counselors, SROs, and even the district attorney in talking with students about safe dating. SYLLABUS: Read chapter 1 of School of Errors. Are we denying students authentic experiences that they will need to function in life - or is the Metaverse actually making things more inclusive for students? What might this mean for pupil services? We have eSports - what about Metaverse clubs? Read my article about Abeyance Agreements for a perspective that might be counter to your district's practices on this matter.
