As a new school year begins, children may experience a mix of excitement, nerves and uncertainty—especially those entering a new school, meeting new teachers or trying to find their place among classmates. On The Spark, we’ll talk about some of the challenges that can come with the back-to-school transition and what parents and teachers can do to make it easier for students.

Joining us from Pennon Education are Desireé Vaughn, Elementary Education Program Coordinator, and Danielle Carroll, Education Program Coordinator. We’ll discuss how parents and teachers can support students as they adjust, recognize the emotions that can come with a new school year, and help children feel more comfortable and confident as they settle back into the classroom.

Listen to the podcast to hear the full conversation.
