In Beneath the Surface: Recognizing and Reaching Our Internalizing Students, we will take a deep dive into understanding and supporting students who struggle silently. Participants will explore why reaching internalizing students is critical (Reaching the Hidden Reefs), gain practical tools for identifying them (Navigating with the Right Tools), and develop strategies to create safe, supportive environments where they can thrive (Creating Safe Harbors). Through interactive discussions, real-world scenarios, and collaborative problem-solving, attendees will engage in meaningful conversations about the hidden struggles of these students. Reflection activities and takeaway resources will ensure that learning extends beyond the summit, empowering educators to implement strategies in their own schools. By fostering continued dialogue and action, this session will help shift the tide in supporting internalizing students effectively.
