There is a wonderful opportunity for educators in your building/district to participate in ICN sessions focused on supporting military youth and teens. Due to the projected deployment that the Iowa National Guard could face in the next year, increased support for those in the military community has never been greater. Many families and communities throughout our state have been, or will be, directly impacted by the deployment of a Service Member. Those working in schools play a vital role in the success and resiliency of a child who's loved one may be deployed.
Below is a listing of sessions being made available through a partnership between Iowa Public Television and the Iowa National Guard Youth and Teen Program. All of the sessions are scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. and will not last more than one hour. These are great opportunities for those in the classroom to gain valuable information and resources for use in future planning.
