Helping Middle Graders Make Sense of the World

We sit down with Dr Shafer and Dana Kramaroff, educator and author of the Middle Grade hit The Do More Club and educator, for an inspiring discussion on this week's episode of Talks with Dr Shafer. Dana shares how her experiences growing up inspired The Do More Club, a story about a Jewish boy who faces an antisemitic attack at school who is empowered to create positive change in his community. In a world that feels heavy and full of conflict, it's not just adults who are feeling the weight: Dana reflects on her experience as a teacher for middle grade and elementary school students, and how parents, teachers and caregivers can support and empower kids through development and challenging times. What resonated with you from today's episode?
