Transforming the Lives of Wounded StudentsJoe Hendershott Ed.D.Sunday, March 8, 2020 Based on this presenter’s firsthand experiences and ongoing research, this presentation will walk participants through how emotional poverty can become a deterrent to academic success. Research shows almost half the nation’s children have experienced trauma, which has a profound impact on their behaviors, relationships, and learning. Educators need an understanding of the social-emotional needs of wounded children in order to reach them, teach them, and avoid using ineffective strategies and consequences that might cause further frustration. This session will provide strategies for keeping wounded children engaged in their educational settings and communities and personal and professional strategies to empower adults to direct children on a path to academic and life success. |

Black Girl Magic: Understanding Our Misunderstood Black Girls Through Therapeutic Relationship BuildingPhylicia AndersonSunday, March 8, 2020 “Black Girl Magic” is a popular phrase that celebrates the beauty, power, and resiliency of black womanhood. Just like magic, black girls are often misunderstood and feared. Through implicit biases, stereotypes, and discrimination, many black girls are unable to tap into their full potential. As change agents, it is our responsibility to break barriers and build therapeutic relationships to tap into black girl magic! |
