In this episode, we dive into the lasting impact of the COVID years on young people - not just academically, but socially, emotionally, and developmentally. We explore what’s still showing up in classrooms, what students are carrying, and how educators can respond with empathy and effectiveness.
Key themes discussed are:
The hidden costs of disrupted schooling
How COVID shaped student confidence, independence, and behaviour
The role of educators in rebuilding connection, routine, and trust
Strategies for supporting social and emotional development post-pandemic
Why a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach matters more than ever
This is a must-listen for any educator who’s still navigating the ripple effects - and wondering how to meet students where they are now.
