Community-Care Strategies for Schools During the Coronavirus Crisis: Practical Tips for School Staff and Administrators

Jenny Betz; Center to Improve Social and Emotional Learning and School Safety

  • View this resource

As the COVID-19 pandemic impacts communities across the country and the world, schools must find remote ways to continue providing learning and enrichment opportunities for students while also remaining committed to the social and emotional needs of the entire school community. Schools are uniquely positioned to help members of their communities maintain a sense of connectedness — an important part of well-being— and to identify those who may need additional support.

This brief offers practical guidance for educators and other school staff, and for administrators and other leaders, to help ensure that school communities are effective, cohesive, collaborative, healthy, and sustainable while coping with the stresses of social isolation, school closures, and changes to how services are provided.

Accompanying this resource is a related brief, Self-Care Strategies for Educators During the Coronavirus Crisis.
