Children spend the majority of their day in school, learning the skills they will need to be productive members of the global community in the "real world" after they graduate. But for children, their real world is taking place right now, every day at school. Their interactions with peers and adults help to shape their future path and outlook on life. More than ever, post-pandemic, adults need to spend time focusing on the social skills and big emotions that are a part of growing up. Join Laurie as she discusses how educators must use small teachable moments to help children learn how to reset by identifying, managing and successfully navigating social and emotional events during the school day. Laurie Havrisko strives to help all families feel included and welcome in their child's education. She works at the Greater Latrobe School District as the Assistant to the Superintendent for Student Services, which is best explained as finding supports and solutions to help all students achieve success. Laurie believes that the key to inclusivity comes from valuing all types of learners, honoring diverse backgrounds, and building equal relationships with families. Laurie works to bridge the gap between home and school by helping families see themselves as partners in their child's learning. Laurie has degrees in Psychology, Special Education, Administration and Supervision, and is currently a second year PhD student in Community Engagement at Point Park University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
