NAF's Education Today
We’ve heard from many educators about how the post-election news cycle has left you or your students feeling overwhelmed with a range of emotions. We hope these two self-care resources will be helpful for you as you navigate this historic time with your classroom: How to Cope with Election Stress from the Crisis Text Line and this Self Care Choice Board from anti-racist educator, Liz Kleinrock, that helps students think about how to take care of themselves.
