Easing the Stress at Pressure-Cooker Schools
Villeneuve, Jennifer Curry; Conner, Jerusha O.; Selby, Samantha; Pope, Denise Clark
Phi Delta Kappan, v101 n3 p15-19 Nov 2019
Adolescent stress, anxiety, and self-harm behaviors are on the rise, and the consequences have significant implications for how youth engage in school. While the data trends paint a worrisome picture of rising student stress and disengagement, evidence shows that listening to the voices and concerns of youth and implementing research-based reforms can support students to live balanced and academically fulfilling lives. Understanding the adolescent student experience reveals numerous areas for policy and practice solutions that can lead to healthier outcomes. Student experience data both explains what is happening and points to solutions.
