Addressing the Israel-Hamas War in Schools, with Lauraine Langreo (Education Week)

The recent conflict in Israel and Gaza has been upsetting to so many of us and to so many young people. How should educators respond? How should they help their students make sense of these events? On this show, I speak with Lauraine Langreo, a staff writer at Education Week who has written two recent articles on these questions. We discuss these articles, the resources that she recommends, and what she’s learned about how teachers and administrators are addressing the conflict - and related conflicts among students - in schools.
