Encore Anthony Conwright: PACEs Connection goes Back to School

As the summer winds down, its time to go back to school. This month, we will examine America's school system. In recent years, COVID-19, school shootings, affirmation of LGBTQ students, institutional racism, critical race theory, teacher burnout and parent's rights, have transformed America's schools into cultural battlegrounds. In result, students, teachers and administrators are experiencing poor mental health outcomes, secondary traumatic stress and burnout. In order to determine how our nation's schools have gotten to this point, our co-hosts will interview school professionals and engage in critical discussions from a trauma-informed perspective. Please join us for our conversation with writer and journalist, Anthony Conwright. Conwright is a writer and educator who has worked in education for 14 years. His experiences in education include teaching Humanities—domestic and abroad—and school administration. Conwright has also worked as a journalist and reporter, contributing essays to the Huffington Post and other outlets.
