The crisis is ongoing and our students are seeing the horrific videos of death and destruction in Gaza. To address this issue with care and provide some much needed perspective, we invited teacher extraordinaire and former AOTA Show guest Dr. Sawsan Jaber back on the show. The daughter of Palestinian refugees, Dr. Jaber is a National Board Certified teacher and one of the founders of the Arab American Education Network (AAEN). She’ll help us explore the ongoing crisis through the lens of teaching and learning in American schools today. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a collection of lawsuits against social media companies alleging that they’ve created overwhelming mental health needs among students, and an early look at whether ChatGPT may be useful in teaching students to find their voice as writers.
