At the beginning of the new semester, you may see students who are homeless falling behind their peers. Pandemic-induced learning loss has hurt all students, leaving those without homes even farther behind. They may lack many necessary resources, from showers to Internet access, and often do not get enough sleep. They are also more likely to have been victims of violence and assault.

Optimal strategies to foster focus in the classroom will enable you to help all students learn. Prevention and intervention techniques will ignite interest in learning before it’s too late.

Behavior specialist Ryan Jeffery will share practical techniques for working with unhoused students. You will learn how to help them learn and overcome their challenges outside of school.
