How to Help Students Get Back on Track as Pandemic Disruptions Continue
As another school year starts amid pandemic disruption, what can be done to help students get back on track — academically, socially, and emotionally? We talk to Graeme Hopkins, a Grade 12 student in Saskatoon who wants schools to return to regular semesters; Tracy Vaillancourt, Canada Research Chair in school-based mental health and violence prevention at the University of Ottawa, who helped author a recent policy briefing on children and schools during COVID-19; and Dr. Yusra Ahmad, a psychiatrist and clinical lecturer in the department of psychiatry at the University of Toronto.
