After completing the training slides, take a few minutes to reflect on your learning. Use the prompts below as journal questions or professional discussion starters:
What assumptions might I have held about military-connected students?
How do I currently support students experiencing school transitions or deployments?
What SEL or CRT strategies do I already use, and how can I deepen or expand them?
What will I do differently in my classroom to better support military-connected learners?
How can I ensure students feel emotionally safe and culturally seen?
Reflect privately in a journal or document.
Share insights in your next team or PLC meeting.
Use one prompt as an exit ticket after future PD sessions.
Try one of the following classroom ideas:
Introduce an “identity & belonging” activity to your next unit
Implement a daily mood check-in routine for two weeks
Reach out to a military family at your school and invite them to share their perspective (if comfortable)
