How Violence Impacts the Classroom
October 14, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
Facilitator(s) Rachel Swadley
Description of Presentation You interact with a student who often stares into space, doesn’t turn homework in on time, and frequently misses class. While all of these can be symptoms of an unmotivated student, they can also be symptoms of a much more troubling cause. Domestic and dating violence has a wide reach in Southwest Missouri, and the effects of this violence reaches just as far. This session will dive into the complicated problem of interpersonal violence in Southwest Missouri and the effects of violence on concentration, performance, and degree completion. Resources will be identified both on campus and in the community to help students recover from violence and go on to be successful both academically and personally.
