Merz, Sandy
Educational Leadership, v75 n4 p12-17 Dec 2017-Jan 2018
With the National Alliance for Mental Illness estimating that 20 percent of 13-18 year-olds live with a mental health condition, it is essential for teachers to know their legal and ethical obligations in assisting their students and creating a welcoming environment for them to thrive. Merz, a middle school teacher for 30 years, discusses what professional development for teachers might look like and outlines training that he and his colleagues hope to develop through a Teach to Lead team.
