didn't seem urgent to Gabriel Nagel when he was a kid. In a seventh grade class, he saw the chart showing global carbon emissions rising, but it felt abstract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in 2017, a wildfire burned within a few blocks of his house in Boulder, Colorado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a moment when it kind of clicked for me that climate change isn't something of the future,\" Nagel says. \"It's something that we're dealing with right now, and no matter who you are, you're going to be impacted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kids across the world are increasingly facing the impacts of climate change, from losing homes in disasters to having recess canceled due to extreme heat waves. Climate anxiety is on the rise, as a younger generation confronts inheriting a much hotter world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many young people are experiencing grief and frustration and anxiety and elements of betrayal by adults and other generations,\" says Dr. Kelsey Hudson, a clinical psychologist who specializes in climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In coping with those feelings, many young people are figuring out ways to find meaning and purpose. Here's some of their advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>1. Talk to a friend about what's up\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Nagel and his family evacuated during the wildfire in Boulder, Colorado, but luckily his house came out unscathed. After that, he began noticing how wildfires seemed to be happening more often across the West, especially with the long-running drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know other people through not just that fire, but other fires across Colorado who have lost their homes,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nagel started learning more about climate change and began taking action in his daily life, like biking more and eating less meat. But it was joining the sustainability club at his high school in Denver that made the biggest difference. There, he met other students working to help their community, like planting trees and encouraging his school to start composting\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also joined another student group, DPS Students for Climate Action. Over the course of almost two years, the group \u003ca href=\"https://www.dpsk12.org/dps-board-of-education-passes-student-initiated-climate-policy/\">pushed Denver Public Schools to pass its first climate policy\u003c/a>, adopting goals to reduce emissions and use clean energy district-wide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Being surrounded by people who are equally passionate and have the same amount of optimism about the future can be really uplifting and kind of motivating,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he feels overwhelmed by the future of the planet, he meets up with a friend, Mariah Rosensweig, whom he got to know through the sustainability club. They go on walks and hikes together, venting about whatever is on their minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It sometimes feels like what I'm doing will never be enough,\" Nagel says. \"And part of that is true. Like one person isn't going to be able to change the fate of this planet, of climate change. But I think at the same time, I also do have hope that by working together, we can actually resolve this crisis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>2. Get out in nature\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As a kid, Rosensweig's deep love of nature grew from being outdoors all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was always one of the few girls that would be dirtier than all the boys,\" Rosensweig says. \"My grandpa nicknamed me the 'tree panther,' because I would always be in a tree and he wouldn't know where I was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In high school, she became a beekeeper. For her, working on climate change is about reminding people of their connection to the natural world. But seeing the damage to the natural world can be disheartening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_60348\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 200px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-60348\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/11/mariah_tree_senior_custom-5157d613e929f309900d4819f296badb85bbf166.jpg\" alt=\"A teenage girl in white overalls with pink designs and a black short-sleeved shirt stands in a tree with arms streteched between two tree trunks.\" width=\"200\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/11/mariah_tree_senior_custom-5157d613e929f309900d4819f296badb85bbf166.jpg 200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/11/mariah_tree_senior_custom-5157d613e929f309900d4819f296badb85bbf166-160x213.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mariah Rosensweig knows that seeing the effects of climate change can be disheartening. To combat those feelings, Rosenweig gets outside and connects with her senses and natural the world. (Photo: Violet Baker) \u003ccite>(Violet Baker)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"Now the conversation isn't: what can we do to prevent climate change?\" she says. \"It's: how are we going to live with it? As I'm still so young, to hear that shift is frustrating because it's like – we've known about this for so long.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she feels that way, Rosensweig says it's simple: go outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'll sit myself down on the ground and really connect to my senses, especially breath,\" she says. \"That will make you more aware of the world around you. And then the more that you're aware, the more you're going to care. The more you care, the more likely you are to do something about it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>3. Join people doing something in your community\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When 15-year-old Tanish Doshi first moved to Tuscon, Arizona, the extreme heat was a shock, especially as rising summer temperatures broke records year after year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It feels like your skin is on fire,\" he says. \"A lot of people have access to safe places to stay, to air conditioning, to water, stuff like that. When you look at our unhoused populations and different people, they don't have that access a lot of the time here in southern Arizona. So the heat is really, really bad.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When climate change seems daunting, Doshi's advice is to find someone who cares about it and ask how to help in your community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Tucson's Habitat for Humanity office was hit with flooding during heavy monsoon rains, Doshi rallied his friends to do something. They designed a flood control system around the building, putting in drainage pipes, holding basins and rerouting water to absorbent areas with plants.

In a seventh grade class, he saw the chart showing global carbon emissions rising, but it felt abstract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in 2017, a wildfire burned within a few blocks of his house in Boulder, Colorado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a moment when it kind of clicked for me that climate change isn't something of the future,\" Nagel says. \"It's something that we're dealing with right now, and no matter who you are, you're going to be impacted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kids across the world are increasingly facing the impacts of climate change, from losing homes in disasters to having recess canceled due to extreme heat waves. Climate anxiety is on the rise, as a younger generation confronts inheriting a much hotter world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many young people are experiencing grief and frustration and anxiety and elements of betrayal by adults and other generations,\" says Dr. Kelsey Hudson, a clinical psychologist who specializes in climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In coping with those feelings, many young people are figuring out ways to find meaning and purpose.

Talk to a friend about what's up\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Nagel and his family evacuated during the wildfire in Boulder, Colorado, but luckily his house came out unscathed. After that, he began noticing how wildfires seemed to be happening more often across the West, especially with the long-running drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know other people through not just that fire, but other fires across Colorado who have lost their homes,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nagel started learning more about climate change and began taking action in his daily life, like biking more and eating less meat. But it was joining the sustainability club at his high school in Denver that made the biggest difference. There, he met other students working to help their community, like planting trees and encouraging his school to start composting\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also joined another student group, DPS Students for Climate Action. Over the course of almost two years, the group \u003ca href=\"https://www.dpsk12.org/dps-board-of-education-passes-student-initiated-climate-policy/\">pushed Denver Public Schools to pass its first climate policy\u003c/a>, adopting goals to reduce emissions and use clean energy district-wide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Being surrounded by people who are equally passionate and have the same amount of optimism about the future can be really uplifting and kind of motivating,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he feels overwhelmed by the future of the planet, he meets up with a friend, Mariah Rosensweig, whom he got to know through the sustainability club. They go on walks and hikes together, venting about whatever is on their minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It sometimes feels like what I'm doing will never be enough,\" Nagel says. \"And part of that is true. Like one person isn't going to be able to change the fate of this planet, of climate change. But I think at the same time, I also do have hope that by working together, we can actually resolve this crisis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>2. Get out in nature\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As a kid, Rosensweig's deep love of nature grew from being outdoors all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was always one of the few girls that would be dirtier than all the boys,\" Rosensweig says. \"My grandpa nicknamed me the 'tree panther,' because I would always be in a tree and he wouldn't know where I was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In high school, she became a beekeeper. For her, working on climate change is about reminding people of their connection to the natural world.

Join people doing something in your community\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When 15-year-old Tanish Doshi first moved to Tuscon, Arizona, the extreme heat was a shock, especially as rising summer temperatures broke records year after year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It feels like your skin is on fire,\" he says. \"A lot of people have access to safe places to stay, to air conditioning, to water, stuff like that. When you look at our unhoused populations and different people, they don't have that access a lot of the time here in southern Arizona. So the heat is really, really bad.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When climate change seems daunting, Doshi's advice is to find someone who cares about it and ask how to help in your community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Tucson's Habitat for Humanity office was hit with flooding during heavy monsoon rains, Doshi rallied his friends to do something. They designed a flood control system around the building, putting in drainage pipes, holding basins and rerouting water to absorbent areas with plants. Around 20 people helped out with construction, including his nine-year-old brother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me, advocacy and action has alleviated some of my climate anxiety because it shows me success is possible, right?\" he says. \"If a group of teenagers here in Tucson can have this success and if teenagers across the country are having similar success, that can really lead to reforms on the national level.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helping out in your community doesn't need to be a big project, psychologists like Hudson say.

Many legal pundits predict that affirmative action, a practice that gives preferences to groups that have been discriminated against, will be abolished when the court issues its decision next spring. That could prevent both private and public universities from considering a student’s race or ethnicity as one of many factors in admissions, along with grades, test scores and extracurricular activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges that still want to build a diverse student body that reflects the country’s demographics are looking for alternatives. Two states could provide valuable information. Researchers have studied what has happened at public universities in Texas and California, which have banned the use of affirmative action since 1996.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Texas moved to a Top Ten Percent policy in 1998 under which public universities accept the cream of the crop at every high school in both wealthy and poor neighborhoods. (In practice, students now need to be in the top \u003ca href=\"https://news.utexas.edu/topics-in-the-news/top-10-percent-law/\">6 percent\u003c/a> of their high school class for admission to the University of Texas at Austin.) But that didn’t help increase the percentage of Black and Hispanic students all that much. Immediately after the affirmative action ban, the percentage of Black and Hispanic students at the state’s two flagship campuses, UT-Austin and Texas A&M, \u003ca href=\"https://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/college-access/admissions/percent-plans-in-college-admissions-a-comparative-analysis-of-three-states2019-experiences/horn-percent-plans-2003.pdf\">fell from 18\u003c/a> percent to 13 percent. Four years after the Top Ten Percent policy started, the percentage of Black and Hispanic students \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4mw4r5ds\">increased by only 1.6 percentage points \u003c/a>at the flagship campuses. Researchers say that tiny increase was probably due to demographic changes in the state and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jstor.org/stable/4624567\">not because the plan was working well\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thousands of high-achieving students at low-income high schools \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/texas-top-10-policy-didnt-expand-number-of-high-schools-feeding-students-to-top-universities/\">weren’t taking advantage of the Top Ten Percent policy\u003c/a>. Even though they would have been automatically admitted to UT-Austin and Texas A&M, they didn’t bother to apply. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w28280/w28280.pdf\">Nearly half of the state’s high schools never or rarely\u003c/a> sent students to the flagships for 18 years after the Top Ten Percent policy went into effect. Higher income high schools that originally funneled kids to Texas’s flagships continued to be the main suppliers of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California had a similar experience. After voters eliminated affirmative action in a 1996 referendum, the University of California system tried \u003ca href=\"https://eaop.universityofcalifornia.edu/\">outreach programs\u003c/a> and an automatic acceptance policy for students in the \u003ca href=\"https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/freshman-requirements/california-residents/statewide-guarantee/\">top 9 percent\u003c/a> of their high school classes. In 2001, the UC system moved to “holistic” admissions, looking at many factors beyond test scores and grades. Beginning in 2020, the system eliminated SAT and ACT tests altogether. But UC \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/20-1199/232355/20220801134931730_20-1199%20bsac%20University%20of%20California.pdf\">says its efforts haven’t been enough to keep up with changing demographics\u003c/a> in the state. The state’s high school seniors in 2021 were \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/as-supreme-court-considers-affirmative-action-case-university-of-california-offers-cautionary-tale/679692\">54 percent Latino and 5.4 percent Black\u003c/a>. But that fall, University of California’s incoming freshmen were 26 percent Latino, and 4.4 percent Black. It was worse at the \u003ca href=\"https://opa.berkeley.edu/uc-berkeley-fall-enrollment-data-new-undergraduates\">most selective campuses\u003c/a>. (Enrollment data for 2022 isn’t yet available.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of California’s decision to scrap SAT or ACT scores is unusual, but more than 1,700 universities and colleges have adopted test-optional admissions. Many hoped that it would level the playing field with applicants who can’t afford expensive SAT tutors. But research shows that it has failed to substantially raise the share of low-income students or students of color. One study published in 2021 found that the share of \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-test-optional-policies-didnt-do-much-to-diversify-college-student-populations/\">Black, Hispanic and Native American students increased by only 1 percentage point \u003c/a>at about 100 colleges and universities that adopted the policy between 2005-06 and 2015-16. A separate study of a group of \u003ca href=\"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/0162373714537350\">selective liberal arts colleges that adopted test-optional policies before 2011\u003c/a> didn’t find any didn’t find any improvement in diversity on those campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another research team is interviewing college admissions officers to understand why. In preliminary findings, the researchers learned that colleges were replacing standardized tests with metrics that were \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-colleges-that-ditched-test-scores-for-admissions-find-its-harder-to-be-fair-in-choosing-students-researcher-says/\">even more biased toward wealthier and white students\u003c/a>, such as letters of recommendation and expensive extracurricular activities. Admissions officers admitted that it was difficult to weigh an applicant with test scores against one without, and the one with test scores often won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, other researchers are finding evidence that it might not be Black and Hispanic students who are getting the biggest preferences in the admissions office, but rather privileged white students. More than \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/harvard-critic-finds-white-jocks-and-rich-kids-get-preferential-treatment-in-admissions/\">43 percent of white students admitted to Harvard\u003c/a> between 2009 and 2014 fell into four preferential categories: athletes, legacies (the children of alumni), the children of big donors or faculty and staff children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alumni children are \u003ca href=\"https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/713744\">up to eight times \u003c/a>more likely to be accepted at elite colleges, according to one estimate. Another study at an unnamed elite Northeastern college found that so many legacy students had been admitted that they outnumbered the number of Hispanic students. It will be a tough habit to break because legacy students \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-why-elite-colleges-cant-give-up-legacy-admissions/\">matriculate and donate in much higher numbers\u003c/a>, helping colleges meet enrollment and fundraising targets. In the study, a whopping 42 percent of legacy graduates were flagged as potential top donors. Only 6 percent of non-legacy graduates were flagged as potential top donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on this research evidence, there don’t seem to be easy substitutes for affirmative action that can help foster diversity. One small ray of hope comes from a \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-study-finds-guaranteed-free-tuition-lures-low-income-students/\">financial aid study at the University of Michigan\u003c/a>. It found that upfront guarantees of free tuition were effective in getting more disadvantaged students to apply and enroll. However, this experiment was conducted in rural areas and largely affected low-income white students.

Many legal pundits predict that affirmative action, a practice that gives preferences to groups that have been discriminated against, will be abolished when the court issues its decision next spring. That could prevent both private and public universities from considering a student’s race or ethnicity as one of many factors in admissions, along with grades, test scores and extracurricular activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges that still want to build a diverse student body that reflects the country’s demographics are looking for alternatives. Two states could provide valuable information. Researchers have studied what has happened at public universities in Texas and California, which have banned the use of affirmative action since 1996.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Texas moved to a Top Ten Percent policy in 1998 under which public universities accept the cream of the crop at every high school in both wealthy and poor neighborhoods. (In practice, students now need to be in the top \u003ca href=\"https://news.utexas.edu/topics-in-the-news/top-10-percent-law/\">6 percent\u003c/a> of their high school class for admission to the University of Texas at Austin.) But that didn’t help increase the percentage of Black and Hispanic students all that much. Immediately after the affirmative action ban, the percentage of Black and Hispanic students at the state’s two flagship campuses, UT-Austin and Texas A&M, \u003ca href=\"https://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/college-access/admissions/percent-plans-in-college-admissions-a-comparative-analysis-of-three-states2019-experiences/horn-percent-plans-2003.pdf\">fell from 18\u003c/a> percent to 13 percent. Four years after the Top Ten Percent policy started, the percentage of Black and Hispanic students \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4mw4r5ds\">increased by only 1.6 percentage points \u003c/a>at the flagship campuses. Researchers say that tiny increase was probably due to demographic changes in the state and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jstor.org/stable/4624567\">not because the plan was working well\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thousands of high-achieving students at low-income high schools \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/texas-top-10-policy-didnt-expand-number-of-high-schools-feeding-students-to-top-universities/\">weren’t taking advantage of the Top Ten Percent policy\u003c/a>. Even though they would have been automatically admitted to UT-Austin and Texas A&M, they didn’t bother to apply. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w28280/w28280.pdf\">Nearly half of the state’s high schools never or rarely\u003c/a> sent students to the flagships for 18 years after the Top Ten Percent policy went into effect. Higher income high schools that originally funneled kids to Texas’s flagships continued to be the main suppliers of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California had a similar experience. After voters eliminated affirmative action in a 1996 referendum, the University of California system tried \u003ca href=\"https://eaop.universityofcalifornia.edu/\">outreach programs\u003c/a> and an automatic acceptance policy for students in the \u003ca href=\"https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/freshman-requirements/california-residents/statewide-guarantee/\">top 9 percent\u003c/a> of their high school classes. In 2001, the UC system moved to “holistic” admissions, looking at many factors beyond test scores and grades. Beginning in 2020, the system eliminated SAT and ACT tests altogether. But UC \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/20-1199/232355/20220801134931730_20-1199%20bsac%20University%20of%20California.pdf\">says its efforts haven’t been enough to keep up with changing demographics\u003c/a> in the state. The state’s high school seniors in 2021 were \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/as-supreme-court-considers-affirmative-action-case-university-of-california-offers-cautionary-tale/679692\">54 percent Latino and 5.4 percent Black\u003c/a>. But that fall, University of California’s incoming freshmen were 26 percent Latino, and 4.4 percent Black. It was worse at the \u003ca href=\"https://opa.berkeley.edu/uc-berkeley-fall-enrollment-data-new-undergraduates\">most selective campuses\u003c/a>.

Many hoped that it would level the playing field with applicants who can’t afford expensive SAT tutors. But research shows that it has failed to substantially raise the share of low-income students or students of color. One study published in 2021 found that the share of \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-test-optional-policies-didnt-do-much-to-diversify-college-student-populations/\">Black, Hispanic and Native American students increased by only 1 percentage point \u003c/a>at about 100 colleges and universities that adopted the policy between 2005-06 and 2015-16. A separate study of a group of \u003ca href=\"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/0162373714537350\">selective liberal arts colleges that adopted test-optional policies before 2011\u003c/a> didn’t find any didn’t find any improvement in diversity on those campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another research team is interviewing college admissions officers to understand why. In preliminary findings, the researchers learned that colleges were replacing standardized tests with metrics that were \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-colleges-that-ditched-test-scores-for-admissions-find-its-harder-to-be-fair-in-choosing-students-researcher-says/\">even more biased toward wealthier and white students\u003c/a>, such as letters of recommendation and expensive extracurricular activities. Admissions officers admitted that it was difficult to weigh an applicant with test scores against one without, and the one with test scores often won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, other researchers are finding evidence that it might not be Black and Hispanic students who are getting the biggest preferences in the admissions office, but rather privileged white students. More than \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/harvard-critic-finds-white-jocks-and-rich-kids-get-preferential-treatment-in-admissions/\">43 percent of white students admitted to Harvard\u003c/a> between 2009 and 2014 fell into four preferential categories: athletes, legacies (the children of alumni), the children of big donors or faculty and staff children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alumni children are \u003ca href=\"https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/713744\">up to eight times \u003c/a>more likely to be accepted at elite colleges, according to one estimate. Another study at an unnamed elite Northeastern college found that so many legacy students had been admitted that they outnumbered the number of Hispanic students. It will be a tough habit to break because legacy students \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-why-elite-colleges-cant-give-up-legacy-admissions/\">matriculate and donate in much higher numbers\u003c/a>, helping colleges meet enrollment and fundraising targets. In the study, a whopping 42 percent of legacy graduates were flagged as potential top donors. Only 6 percent of non-legacy graduates were flagged as potential top donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on this research evidence, there don’t seem to be easy substitutes for affirmative action that can help foster diversity. One small ray of hope comes from a \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-study-finds-guaranteed-free-tuition-lures-low-income-students/\">financial aid study at the University of Michigan\u003c/a>. It found that upfront guarantees of free tuition were effective in getting more disadvantaged students to apply and enroll. However, this experiment was conducted in rural areas and largely affected low-income white students.

Each caregiver in the household — mom, dad, grandma, uncle, whoever — should take turns doing special time with each child at home, says Murphy. That way, each child has a chance to receive positive attention from the adults in their life. And remember, it's a one-on-one treatment, so if you have two kids, don't lump their special time together.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How long to do special time — and when\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Harrison recommends doing at least 5 minutes of special time with your child at least four times a week and making it part of a daily routine, perhaps a little before bedtime to help your child relax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And keep in mind, says Murphy, the practice often feels awkward for adults at first.

She considered him to be one of her more challenging students, but when the class started a unit to see which student could build the most supportive bridge for a competition, he willingly showed up. “So we were like, ‘OK, this is something we really need to build on,’” Founds said. “They [came] to class when they felt that the work was hands-on, meaningful and interesting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many teachers know that these kinds of project-based learning (PBL) activities engage their students, but don’t have the time needed to effectively start doing it in their classrooms. “Instead of kids completing a worksheet that gets put in the grade book and maybe recycled, they're creating stuff that's meaningful in the real world,” said Founds about the extra involvement that goes into teaching through PBL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conditions like class sizes, instruction time and schoolwide culture have to work in tandem to support teachers trying to implement PBL, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pblworks.org/\">PBLWorks\u003c/a> CEO Bob Lenz. “They're going to be planning a project and assessing it,\" he said. \"It's a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC8896503720&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six years ago, this kind of instruction would have been impossible at MLK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The suspension rate was high. MLK unfortunately had the highest rate of disciplinary referrals in the entire district,” said Leslie Hu, MLK’s community school coordinator who added that standardized test scores were really low. The principal wanted to incorporate PBL, but knew students were distracted by a lack of basic needs that could not be met at home. Shifting to a community school model helped students with needs like food and medical care, and teachers like Founds were able invest more time in developing their teaching practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools aren’t typically designed to offer more than instruction, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://shanesafir.com/2020/12/before-maslows-hierarchy-the-whitewashing-of-indigenous-knowledge/&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1664236127182579&usg=AOvVaw1OVvN4mLgoTuG-zpMxZoyD\">by addressing basic needs\u003c/a>, they’re finding that students can learn better. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cps-k12.org/Page/1\">Cincinnati Public School\u003c/a> Learning Centers, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/Page/13989\">Oakland Unified School District\u003c/a> and even Lebron James’\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/12/education/lebron-james-school-ohio.html\"> I Promise School\u003c/a> in Akron, Ohio, are community schools that lend a helpful framework for closing achievement gaps and improving student outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The community school approach is where you take the resources that you think children and families need to really be successful. And you bring all those resources within the school building,” said Dr. Angela Diaz, the director of the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, a community school can help families access health and safety needs by having a medical clinic, dental services, food programs and counselor services on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some schools, like Buena Vista Horace Mann (BVHM) in San Francisco, have gone so far as to create shelters for unhoused families on campus.

When it’s on teachers to fill in the gaps for students, it leads to burnout and takes focus away from academics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Free and reduced price lunch programs have been around since the 1940s to help families and nearly\u003ca href=\"https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/child-nutrition-programs/national-school-lunch-program/\"> 30 million children nationwide\u003c/a> rely on these programs. Food insecurity continues to affect 10% of kids in the US, leading to lower academic performance and a higher likelihood of behavior issues. When MLK transitioned to a community school model, they expanded student and family support beyond free and low-cost lunch to include a breakfast at school program and meals throughout the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past six years, MLK has developed more than 50 partnerships, including organizations like \u003ca href=\"https://www.huckleberryyouth.org/\">Huckleberry Youth\u003c/a> which provide case workers that help families get access to affordable food. “Our teachers don't need to be as much of a social worker anymore. They don't need to have their own stash of socks in their closet to give to young people because we have programs for that,” school coordinator Hu told me.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Health and wellness services\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>MLK distributed a comprehensive health assessment survey with questions about how much students slept and how often they exercise. The survey revealed that many of their students were stressed. “We knew that their health impacts their learning, their ability to stay focused [and] retain information,” said Hu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results from the assessments were shared schoolwide and led MLK to partner with the Beacon organization to support student mental health and wellness.

And so then it goes from just being like, ‘Oh, you did your report’ to, ‘Oh, you're actually meeting people who could be your future representative.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_59904\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-59904\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/09/IMG_3757-800x600.jpg\" alt='Student sits at a desk with multicolored pamphlets next to a sign that says \"Yes on Prop D.\" Two adults stand in front of the table.' width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/09/IMG_3757-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/09/IMG_3757-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/09/IMG_3757-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/09/IMG_3757-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/09/IMG_3757-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/09/IMG_3757-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2022/09/IMG_3757-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An MLK student distributes \"Yes on Proposition D\" pamphlets (Courtesy of Jennifer Founds)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Using the community school model went hand-in-hand with PBL, said Founds. “One supports the other.” Students had better academic performance with their Math and English Language Arts test scores, which improved by nine percent and outpaced the rest of the district.

Buena Vista Horace Mann is a K-8 Spanish immersion school community in San Francisco. With a large population of recent immigrants and low income students, BVHM used the community school model to get them essential food, health care and mental health services. They already had partnerships with community mental health agencies and the local food bank, but they noticed that housing was an issue for many students’ families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were seeing a ton of our families in shelters or homeless or in cars,” said community school coordinator Nick Chandler, who recalled one family asking him, “Can we just stay here tonight in your building?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/sites/default/files/product-files/Students_Experiencing_Homelessness_BRIEF.pdf\">1 in 5 students in California have experienced homelessness\u003c/a> with numbers growing due to unemployment in the wake of the pandemic. Latino immigrants experience\u003ca href=\"https://www.macfound.org/media/files/hhm_-_homelessness_and_child_development.pdf\"> a higher risk of housing instability\u003c/a> and more barriers to getting help, including language barriers, according to a MacArthur Foundation report. There were not enough beds for families at local shelters and many Latino caregivers didn’t feel comfortable going to the shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students experiencing homelessness are \u003ca href=\"https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/sites/default/files/product-files/Students_Experiencing_Homelessness_BRIEF.pdf\">more likely to be chronically absent and less likely to complete high school\u003c/a>. “The brain is not going to absorb the best teacher in the world's information if we're not addressing these underlying challenges,” said Chandler. So Chandler and school leaders proposed turning their school gym into an emergency shelter for families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They had schoolwide meetings to discuss the possibilities before they opened up this service four years ago. Latino and low-income families, who previously hadn’t spoken up much, supported the shelter, while affluent families, who were often white, were against it. “That power dynamic that existed in the community reflects the national power dynamic,” said Chandler about the community meeting. “Folks with privilege tend to have the control and influence and steer. This upset that balance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was stigma about who homeless people are. When you think of a homeless person, you think about addiction or violence. We didn’t want that near our kids,” said Maria Rodriguez in Spanish. She has three kids who go to BVHM.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address concerns, \u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/sfusd.edu/bvhm/proposalpropuesta\">BVHM made a website listing every question\u003c/a> asked at the meeting and how they were answered. Around 200 questions were shared and answered in English and Spanish. In response to questions about sanitation, BVHM assured families that the gym would be cleaned each morning. Those who were worried about safety were told that there would be a security guard on duty during the hours the shelter was open. Parents were also assured that running the space would not cost the school additional money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As more meetings were held, we found out more about the rules for the space and how the shelter would be supporting families. I felt more calm after they said they’d be cleaning it up after families stayed the night and that kids would be able to use the gym again during the day,” said Rodriguez in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BVHM decided to convert their gym into a shelter that operates from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and operates in partnership with a local housing organization. “Our families have a place to be so that they can rest so that when [students] come to school, we know they have a place to sleep,” said Chandler. Up to 20 families are able to stay in the shelter at once. Families must have a student enrolled in the San Francisco Unified School District. This is the third year of their “stay over'' shelter program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the shelter opened, some families left the school. “We did have a shift in our population, so we have less white students now than we did five years ago. And yet our enrollment has maintained and increased,” said Chandler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the parents that stayed, this process of discussing the shelter built trust between the families and the school. Parents felt that BVHM was committed to filling in the gaps and becoming a safety net when families navigated hard times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I think about what a community school is, I don't think every community school needs a homeless shelter,” said Chandler. “I think that willingness to open that space and to let families dictate the needs of the community and use that information to advocate for resources is what a community school is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From free and reduced price lunches to after school programs to buses, schools have always evolved to give assistance to families who need extra support. Community schools and their focus on the whole child are the next step in schools expanding to meet families needs. Kids are required to attend schools, making them an accessible place to provide resources for caregivers with crammed schedules while continuing to get students what they need to learn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Community schools use a whole child approach so the pressure isn’t solely on teachers to attend to students’ academics, social emotional wellbeing and basic needs.

She considered him to be one of her more challenging students, but when the class started a unit to see which student could build the most supportive bridge for a competition, he willingly showed up. “So we were like, ‘OK, this is something we really need to build on,’” Founds said. “They [came] to class when they felt that the work was hands-on, meaningful and interesting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many teachers know that these kinds of project-based learning (PBL) activities engage their students, but don’t have the time needed to effectively start doing it in their classrooms. “Instead of kids completing a worksheet that gets put in the grade book and maybe recycled, they're creating stuff that's meaningful in the real world,” said Founds about the extra involvement that goes into teaching through PBL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conditions like class sizes, instruction time and schoolwide culture have to work in tandem to support teachers trying to implement PBL, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pblworks.org/\">PBLWorks\u003c/a> CEO Bob Lenz. “They're going to be planning a project and assessing it,\" he said. \"It's a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC8896503720&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six years ago, this kind of instruction would have been impossible at MLK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The suspension rate was high.

But that incident wasn't the only thing that pushed him to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were other moments prior to that,\" he said. \"That just seemed to be the cherry on top.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was the shortage of substitute teachers that made it hard to take time off to be there when his kids were sick. The low pay. The lack of respect from parents and politicians; a lack of resources; and, of course, the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's been an attack on education for quite some time,\" Miller said. \"The pandemic was just a weight too heavy. That was the albatross that pulled me under. And I knew that I needed to pivot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now he's a business consultant making 50% more than he did as a teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennsylvania's Department of Education says the shortage is real as teachers like Miller leave. The spokesman has said they\u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/nationwide-teacher-shortage-being-felt-pennsylvania/\"> need thousands of new teachers\u003c/a> and educators in other roles in the next three years or the problem could become chronic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other districts in states around the country are also scrambling to find and keep enough teachers to lead their classrooms as educators deal with burnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers are also facing some unprecedented challenges: school board meetings that devolve into chaos over COVID policies; battles stemming from a politicized and misinformed panic over critical race theory; book banning; and a call to arm teachers in the face of gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educators are on the front line of these societal fractures that can feel scary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller said he's not sure he'll ever go back to education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To be honest, it's going to take teachers being treated like professionals, to have their dignity back, and for the public to rally behind them for folks like myself to consider it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Expected to do more, without support\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Teachers across the country are making similar calculations as Miller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Alexander Calderon's colleague quit suddenly.

His list is still saved on his phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The kids are my No. 1 priority,\" he said. \"Seeing what the kids' interests are and getting to know them as people is what ultimately drove me to stay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said he's the only Spanish speaker on staff at his middle school. He recalls when a student — originally from Nicaragua — enrolled. He watched the boy's mother struggle to understand the system and to communicate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It made me think of my own mom struggling through the American education system,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon stepped in to help.

The low pay. The lack of respect from parents and politicians; a lack of resources; and, of course, the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's been an attack on education for quite some time,\" Miller said. \"The pandemic was just a weight too heavy. That was the albatross that pulled me under. And I knew that I needed to pivot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now he's a business consultant making 50% more than he did as a teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennsylvania's Department of Education says the shortage is real as teachers like Miller leave. The spokesman has said they\u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/nationwide-teacher-shortage-being-felt-pennsylvania/\"> need thousands of new teachers\u003c/a> and educators in other roles in the next three years or the problem could become chronic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other districts in states around the country are also scrambling to find and keep enough teachers to lead their classrooms as educators deal with burnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers are also facing some unprecedented challenges: school board meetings that devolve into chaos over COVID policies; battles stemming from a politicized and misinformed panic over critical race theory; book banning; and a call to arm teachers in the face of gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educators are on the front line of these societal fractures that can feel scary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller said he's not sure he'll ever go back to education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To be honest, it's going to take teachers being treated like professionals, to have their dignity back, and for the public to rally behind them for folks like myself to consider it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Expected to do more, without support\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Teachers across the country are making similar calculations as Miller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Alexander Calderon's colleague quit suddenly. Overnight, he went from being a seventh-grade English language arts teacher to also being the social studies teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt like there was little to no support in terms of understanding this new curriculum,\" Calderon said. \"I was really at my breaking point to the point where I was thinking about just leaving.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he opened up the notes app on his phone and started writing a list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pros of the job: pay wasn't bad comparatively; his colleagues were supportive; he wanted to be there for his students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cons: very little support from the administration; he was doing the job of two teachers; school morale was terrible; and he was watching one teacher after the next leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though his cons list was slightly longer, this week Calderon started a new school year teaching both English language arts and social studies. His list is still saved on his phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The kids are my No. 1 priority,\" he said. \"Seeing what the kids' interests are and getting to know them as people is what ultimately drove me to stay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said he's the only Spanish speaker on staff at his middle school. He recalls when a student — originally from Nicaragua — enrolled. He watched the boy's mother struggle to understand the system and to communicate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It made me think of my own mom struggling through the American education system,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon stepped in to help.
