USD to Offer Webinar Addressing K-12 Education and Mental Health During COVID-19
“The 2020-2021 academic year presents unique challenges to K-12 educators,” said Amy Schweinle, Ph.D., USD School of Education interim dean. “Administrators, teachers, counselors, psychologists and all school personnel are entering the year with anticipation and excitement, but also trepidation and uncertainty. Our panel will discuss some of the uncertainty surrounding this changed landscape in K-12 education.”
Panelists include David De Jong, Ed.D., Kari Oyen, Ph.D., Dyanis Popova, Ph.D., and Daniel DeCino, Ph.D., of the USD School of Education and Dana Livermont, M.Ed., of the South Dakota Education Association. They will discuss the challenging decisions schools are making, opportunities for using technology to facilitate learning, the ways in which reopening plans impact children from marginalized communities and considerations regarding the mental health of students, parents and teachers.
“The panelists, with their diverse and extensive expertise, will be able to address many questions across a broad range of contexts,” Schweinle said.
