The educator coping with bereavement in the hospital classroom

The teacher in the hospital class has the mission of helping students to define their limited thoughts, recognise and communicate their fears. The didactic approach to hospitalised students follows the same curricular framework offered in regular schools. In addition to mediating the teaching-learning process and transmitting content, the educator must have a more humanised profile and a differentiated view of educational praxis. This education professional transforms the environment of pain, with its focus on the disease, into a new perspective on life.
