"When I see a kid struggle, the first thing I think of is, 'What unmet need is this kid trying to meet?' Because we're all trying to meet our needs in healthy or unhealthy ways." - Tom Brunzell As teachers and educators, we often do not see what is happening in our student's lives outside of the classroom, but what we can see is their behaviour in the classroom.When we become skilled at noticing the signs and symptoms of stress in our students - we can start to work towards creating an environment that cultivates opportunities for healing, growth and learning. In this conversation, Meg Durham chats with Dr Tom Brunzell the Director of Education at Berry Street about practical ways to help students heal, learn and thrive.
