How are families and students affected by obstacles such as poverty, homelessness, violence in the home and community, chronic illness, and natural disasters?
How do these obstacles affect children’s behavioral development and the ability to succeed educationally? What are the ways in which I can be supportive of children and families experiencing these problems?
How can I help students develop resilience to these stresses? What factors at home, at school, and in the community can lead to resilience?
