School Supports

There are positive associations between school supports (e.g., parent communication, academic supports, and classroom supports for students with exceptional needs or abilities) and academic and psychosocial functioning for military-connected students (Inside IES Research, 2022). These trainings summarize research, provide opportunities for education professionals to practice developing skills, and include take-home resources to help school personnel apply the content from each training. These trainings are available at no cost.
