This Week's Topic
In the ongoing battle against dropout, Dr. Joseph Hendershott focuses on the “wounded” student: those traumatized by abuse, neglect, violence, bullying, poverty, and other societal ills. As founder of Hope 4 The Wounded Educational Seminars, Hendershott has dedicated his career to educating those who teach or work with marginalized students, sharing methods proven to ensure academic success through the implementation of programs including esteem building and emotional development, fostering characteristics that can be dormant in wounded students.
“Reaching the Wounded Student” will focus on:
- how to identify a “wounded” student, how to recognize different types of trauma, and how wounds can be manifested through a variety of antisocial behaviors;
- how to reach a “wounded” student and leverage “teachable moments” to teach and/or reinforce acceptable behaviors; and
- how alternative discipline can achieve key outcomes for both student and teacher that lay the groundwork for effective teaching of marginalized students.
