Abstract

The focus issue addressed in this Capstone Project is how well teachers are trained to support a student who is grieving. This is an important issue for teachers because a student who is grieving is in a very vulnerable place, and the way a teacher responds can be very beneficial or detrimental to the student. An argument is made that teachers should be better prepared for a situation where a student is struggling with grief. Considerations of the issue should include the perspectives of teachers who have experience teaching grieving students. Three action options emerged from an analysis of the data and were explored as ways to address the issue presented. Sharing resources and helpful information with teachers using a digital poster is argued to be the most effective way to achieve the goals of preparing teachers with the constraints such as time, reach, and probability of impact.
