Students
The graduate identifies appropriate resources and processes to support the
mental health and emotional well-being of students.
Introduction
Western Governors University employs a three-step developmental
framework to support you through your preclinical and clinical
experiences. This framework also helps to ensure you exit the program
confident in your ability to meet the needs of your future students and
school system. This assessment falls under step one of the three-step
framework. In this task, you will engage in activities that will go toward
preclinical hours of your Early Preclinical Experiences requirements.
This task has two parts. For the first part, you will interview an educational
professional on topics related to mental health or emotional well-being.
For the second part of this task, you will identify a community-based
location (e.g., library, community agency) that offers resources to address
specific mental health or emotional well-being needs. As a teacher, it is
important to be aware of these resources so that you can help your
students. You will identify a resource available at that location that
addresses mental health or emotional needs and explain how you would
apply that resource in your professional practice.
Please note: To assist you in this task, we strongly recommend you start by
reviewing the SOE Professional Dispositions and Ethics linked in the Web
