A Talk in the Park

How to Empower Kids in the Virtual World
Thursday, October 22, 7:30 to 9 p.m.

How do we foster autonomy in this virtual age? Being able to independently manage time and resources is critical for students, especially during distance learning. We'll learn about how we can guide students through the ups and downs of virtual classes while at the same time allowing them to feel in-control.

This Google Meet discussion is being offered to SPHS  parents but we are encouraged to invite a friend!

Why?

We believe in fostering dialog through teaching and learning: from each other, but also from the experts. A sampling of recent events includes:

• Multiple screenings of Angst, the mental health awareness documentary
• Workshops on fostering resilience and healthy coping skills, featuring adolescent development expert Kenneth Ginsburg, M.D., M.S.Ed., FAAP  
• Pathways Music Fest, in partnership with Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation: a safe and fun Friday night offering for middle schoolers
• Playshop, with Jeff and Lee Franklin: a workshop exploring the benefits of imaginative play on healthy brain development
• ​Challenge Success survey at Severna Park Middle School, a tool that is designed to help schools make data-driven decisions to improve student well-being and engagement in learning.
• Our kick-off event was a well-attended panel discussion of clergy, coaches and community members.
