Every fall brings its own patterns. This year, districts across the country are describing three things showing up more — students avoiding school, conflict tied to screens and social media, and emotional overwhelm that shows up as outbursts or shutdowns. Each one costs instructional time, and each one tends to hit vulnerable student populations hardest.
Join Julie Jungman, Vice President of Clinical Care at Cartwheel, Devorah Heitner, PhD, author and digital expert, and Drew Rosenshine, Director of Mental Health/SEL and Behavior at Lowell Public Schools (MA), for a look at what’s behind these patterns.
- School avoidance: what Lowell saw when it built earlier intervention into its approach including a 61% reduction in suspensions and 34% reduction in chronic absenteeism
- Screens & social media: what’s driving the conflict and disengagement districts are reporting, and how families and schools can respond
- Emotional overwhelm & big behaviors: what’s behind the rise in outbursts and shutdowns and how earlier support changes the trajectory
This webinar is for district leaders trying to make sense of what’s showing up in their buildings this year and how to respond to it earlier, before it costs more instructional time.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
- Hear how three seemingly different classroom patterns trace back to the same underlying student need and what that means for how your district organizes support.
- Understand what's driving the conflict and disengagement districts are reporting around screens and social media, and how families and schools can respond together.
- What's behind the rise in outbursts and how earlier support changes a student's trajectory before a crisis point.
- More about Cartwheel’s new Care Programs, an expanded way to get students and families the right support, sooner.
