Kindred Coaching

I wrote something near & dear to my heart. something that reflects what I want the US American education system to embody.

this piece shares the how & why I of sharing the story of losing my mother with every class I teach.

the impact has been immeasurable - students do not drop their grief (loss of a loved one, fear of deportation, loss of safety, loss of friendships) at the door of their classrooms.

educators need to understand that grief IS social emotional learning - learning about & understanding their own grief will help their students cope & support each other.

this isn’t going to put out the flames we are feeling right now but I believe in my bones that grief education is schools is the answer for a more resilient, competent, & empathetic world of communicators.
