Session Type: Symposium
In the last decade, more than two million service members have been deployed to Iraq and/or Afghanistan, and more than two million children have experienced a parental deployment. The deployed and their families experience numerous stressors during deployment (e.g. post-trauma, separation), resulting in concerning social and psychological outcomes (Engel, Gallagher, & Lyle, 2008; Mmari et al., 2009). Civilian educators (K-12 and postsecondary level) often struggle to address the unique schooling needs of military children and veterans. This symposium brings together a diverse set of researchers and practitioners who apply multiple perspectives to examine issues of school and campus climate. Educational reformers and researchers can utilize this session’s findings to address the unique circumstances of military students and veterans.
