Professional Resources

About Helping Students Navigate Political, Cultural, and Social Change

Purpose 

These resources are  designed to help administrators, school counselors, teachers are counselor educators have productive conversations about supporting students during periods of political, cultural, and social change while maintaining a student-centered, ethically grounded school environment.

Key Message 

Political, cultural, and social issues do not remain outside school walls. Students bring questions, emotions, and experiences with them every day.

The goal is not for schools to become political. It is for schools to remain places where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
