I have a child with cancer in my class
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, it is not only a traumatic time for the teacher and the class, but it impacts the whole school and community. Often there is ignorance and a misconception surrounding the illness. It is, therefore, important that educators understand their own emotions and the nature of the illness to adequately support the child and family. Knowledge about cancer, what the school should know during and after the treatment is important to best support the family.
