Our grade level learning communities have been reading and discussing an article about how to effectively support military students during deployments. One key area of the article that the Special Area grade level discussed was the different stages of deployment and how the support varied through the different stages and how to best support students during each stage. The special area team also looked closely at the section of the article that focused on Teacher Intervention Strategies and honed in on the strategy of active listening to our students when they are with us and acknowledging and validating their feelings.
