Dispatches from the field: In conversation with Dr. Barbara Prempeh
“How will you deal with grief and loss, given the high number of students you’ll have in classrooms that lost a parent, a grandparent, an aunt, or a community member to this COVID pandemic? What about the classrooms where teachers aren’t there because they passed away from COVID-19? How are we addressing that? I really want to see schools emphasize their emotional support for students. I get it that some schools just don’t have the capacity, or don’t want to add anything else to the school day, but we have to become creative in how we’re supporting students” – Dr. Barbara Prempeh
