Rachel Fletcher - Back to School with a School Counselor

Author: Utah Education Network, Dani Sloan, Matthew Winters August 11, 2020 Duration: 43:36
Jared and Dani are continuing the Back to School series this week by talking with Rachel Fletcher, a school counselor at the Salt Lake Center for Science Education. As we discussed the need for schools to address the social and emotional needs of student and staff, we also covered the following topics: how we can help students, teachers, and parents who are dealing with anxiety related to schools opening, what types of supports can schools provide for students who need to share their feelings about COVID related issues, and what role schools can play to help provide a safe space for all.

Ever wonder what really happens in the classrooms and corridors of Utah's schools? UEN Homeroom pulls up a chair for those conversations, moving beyond policy headlines to the human stories at the heart of education. Hosted by Dani Sloan and Matthew Winters from the Utah Education Network, this series feels like a candid staff room chat, one where laughter and practical advice are equally important. Each episode connects you directly with the educators and leaders-both from local communities and across the country-who are navigating the daily realities and big ideas shaping students' lives. You'll hear about specific classroom triumphs, the clever solutions teachers devise for unexpected challenges, and thoughtful discussions on the issues that matter most to the profession. It’s a space designed for anyone invested in learning, offering tangible takeaways and a genuine sense of community. Tune into this podcast for a refreshingly authentic look at the craft of teaching, where the focus is always on the people who make it all happen.
