Our nation is divided in many ways on whether or not children should return to school in these difficult times of COVID-19. There are many fears and anxieties about the health risks. Others fear child achievement will suffer if children stay home any longer. Either way, decisions have been made to reopen schools, and we all must prepare.
This session will share family engagement strategies and activities that can help with the safety of children, schools, and educators. Additionally, family literacy will be explained to show how it can be intertwined with family engagement for positive outcomes, and how parents and teachers can build effective partnerships for success to ensure the safety of children, educators, schools, and communities.

This free workshop is part of the Playing to Learn program and is also available for child care providers.
One in four children in the United States will experience an event that may cause physical, emotional or psychological distress and may threaten their safety, health and happiness in big and lasting ways. But with the latest research, the power of healing relationships (and a little help from Big Bird), these experiences do not have to define a child’s life. This session will provide parents and day care providers an overview about trauma and how it impacts the developing young child. We will explore how the Sesame Street in Communities resources can help adults navigate this difficult period in a child’s life and promote hope and healing.
