But we only have one truly sacred obligation \u2014 to properly prepare and equip our troops when we send them into harm\u2019s way, and to care for them and their families both while deployed and when they return home, because your sacrifice deserves nothing less,\u201d Biden said, speaking during a virtual conference of the nonprofit Military Child Education Coalition Nov. 17.<b> <\/b>She is the former second lady, and her husband is the projected winner of the presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military families serve and sacrifice alongside their service members, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2020\/06\/19\/heres-some-advice-for-military-parents-with-extra-worries-about-kids-fall-education\/\" target=_blank>military children<\/a> don\u2019t get a choice when it comes to moving, leaving friends behind, and spending holidays without their military parent, Biden said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Military Child Education Coalition, a child in a military family typically moves six to nine times from the time they\u2019re in kindergarten, through high school graduation. There are an estimated 1.2 million school-age children of active duty members, and the vast majority of them attend public schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden, an educator for more than 35 years, cited the results of a recent Military Child Education Coalition survey where students, parents and educators weighed in on the resources they need. \u201cWith this critical information, we\u2019ll be able to chart a better path for students, parents and schools,\u201d she said, continuing the work she began for military families as second lady during the Obama administration. She traveled extensively during those years, talking to many military families and educators about the needs of military children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey found that 41 percent of military parents and students who responded feel their schools don\u2019t meet their students&#8217; needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAgain and again, I\u2019ve seen military kids who choose every day to be strong and resilient, who face hardship with courage, who know what it means to sacrifice for a cause that\u2019s bigger than all of us,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s why we have to make a choice\u2026 the choice to support them, to lift them up and give them what they need to thrive,\u201d said Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When military children get the support they need, she said, \u201cthey can turn their unique experience into an asset for their school and community. That starts with seeing them for who they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden described her own family\u2019s experiences with the military life. Her stepson, Joe Biden\u2019s son Beau, served in the Army National Guard. She saw the difficulties Beau Biden\u2019s children faced when he was deployed to Iraq for a year. Their granddaughter\u2019s teacher put up a photo of Beau Biden\u2019s unit. Not only could she look up and see her father\u2019s picture, &#8220;but it showed her how special his service was,\u201d she said. It wasn\u2019t just something that made her granddaughter different, but something that her teachers and classmates admired, Biden said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden discussed the \u201cOperation Educate the Educator\u201d program, which was jointly developed by the Military Child Education Coalition and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, as part of the Obama Administration\u2019s Joining Forces Initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joining Forces was an effort by former first lady Michelle Obama and Biden to raise awareness of the challenges of military families. The Operation Educate the Educator initiative was developed to teach colleges about guiding principles that would better prepare teachers to understand and address the needs of military children as they teach in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s more work to be done, Biden said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Military Child Education Coalition survey found that 88 percent of the survey participants reported having activities in their schools to support military-connected children, such as recognizing Month of the Military Child, honoring service members in ceremonies and helping new students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But only 41 percent of the military parents and students who responded felt that their schools meet their student\u2019s needs. In contrast, according to the report, educators responded to the survey with a high level of confidence in their ability to address military students\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students reported that it typically takes them one to three months to adjust to a new school. Students who responded ranked having a student-led, campus based student transition program as the top support strategy. Parents requested a designated on-site staff member who acts as a military liaison and point of contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For students, parents and educators one of the top two emotional concerns for students was feeling accepted and fitting in to the school and local culture. Deployment was reported by 42 percent of the respondents as a concern for the students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supporting troops and their families is the &#8216;one truly sacred obligation,&#8217; Jill Biden said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":91436,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":15,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,23,93,25,15],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3302],"class_list":["post-50937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-newsletters","category-pay-benefits"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"RDERZSQLONA6ZFEYCD5Y7Y73FM","arc_canonical_url":"\/pay-benefits\/2020\/11\/18\/jill-bidens-ready-to-go-to-work-for-military-families-again\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
