“Get Schooled on Concussions (GSOC) materials have been a true life-saver for schools in our state. Alabama has utilized these resources to equip educators with knowledge necessary to manage concussions in the classroom with confidence. The TACT has been well received as well, and we believe will be a real game changer. Educators can complete the tool and receive the customized concussion information they need quickly and accurately when they need it. It’s a win-win for us!”
Maria Crowley, NASHIA
“Get Schooled on Concussions (GSOC) has been able to provide individualized teacher support through weekly emails with information that reflects best practice in current guidelines. The 1 page tip sheets are easy to read with great graphic reminders for all school staff. Through GSOC, we are able to observe our teachers accessing the most up to date information, and use this data to continue to support students who have been impacted.”
Toni Grishman, JeffCo Public Schools
“Working with Get Schooled on Concussions (GSOC) has provided Iowans with an opportunity to access relevant and reliable information to support concussion management. Materials support individualized planning for students as they return to the classroom. The materials are available for teachers at the time they need it, protecting their valuable time.”
