Welcome to another episode of On the Clock, your trusted source for insights from education leaders nationwide. I'm your host, Todd Dallas Lamb, former White House appointee to the US Department of Education. Today's conversation delves into the increasingly pertinent issue of student suicidality a problem that has garnered more attention post-pandemic but has deep roots affecting our youths' safety and well-being.
Joining us are distinguished guests Steve Miracle, superintendent of Marshall County Public Schools in Kentucky, and his supervisor of instruction, Jackie Reid. They'll be discussing the fresh start of the school year and unveiling their comprehensive plan to address our central topic.
We also have Lex Moschakis from Live Big, providing innovative methods to bolster confidence, resilience, and self-leadership skills, particularly in adolescent girls who have faced significant challenges in recent times. The discussion will tackle the influence of social media, body image issues, and the importance of finding one's voice, among other concerns shaping the educational landscape.
So, stay tuned as we unravel strategies for overcoming adversity and fostering student well-being, right here On the Clock!
