When Bad Things Happen
When violence erupts in a community, schools have an important role to play in helping children navigate the aftermath. The cover story of the Summer 2013 issue examines how teachers and schools can support their students when they encounter such violence—up close or from a distance.
Helping children navigate a diverse world is also important, as this issue reveals in articles about students who do not fit the gender binary, students in foster care, Asian-American students and LGBT teachers.
This issue advocates for a peaceful classroom environment, and prepares schools to support students when the harsh realities of the world cannot be avoided.
