Worth Noting... It is worth noting that the school and school district's budget and staffing problems are not your problems...they still need to meet the law and provide your child with FAPE.and comply with your IEP and 504 plan.

What would it sound like if we stopped talking about managing students??… teaching is different than managing #sel

As a young person in school, the pre-established notions of what life can and should be like didn’t include what I would later discover to be true and beautiful. Not legal, legal, it’s all love. #PrideMonth #Pride2022 #PrideMonth2022

looking for some inspiration for summer reading from student voice archives #camtss and yes I did use a #moodmeter in the lesson

If the education system fostered inner peace, compassion and non-violence, or the idea of doing no harm, students would learn how to achieve peace of mind. This is what is required if we are to fulfil the goal of a genuinely peaceful and demilitarized world.

if brain breaks actually help you synthesize and create then are they really breaks? maybe instead of telling kids that when we are quiet/moving/go noodling that we are giving our brains a break, we share that is when learning happens #education #Teachers #neuroscience

Anger and aggression sometimes seem to be protective because they bring energy to bear on a particular situation, but what needs to be acknowledged is that that energy is blind. It takes a calm mind to be able to consider things from different angles and points of view.

We all have unconscious biases. Although these often operate below our level of consciousness, they shape our views & affect our behaviors. Researchers say that our prejudices are not inevitable and are in fact quite malleable.

What’s past is past, nothing can change that. But the future can be different if we choose to make it so. We have to cultivate a vision of a happier, more peaceful future and make the effort now to bring it about. This is no time for complacency, hope lies in the action we take.

What would education look like without acronyms? #edchat #edutwitter #education

@SecCardona It’s tiresome to work in systemic problems and then ask how are you taking care of yourself? Create better systems instead of requiring self care.

Social, emotional, and mental health is just as important as physical health. Educators – as you prepare for the school year, what have you done to take care of yourself?

@jkeysadair @DenaSimmons Thank you all- I see it and voted - this is most important conversation in SEL

heard a middle schooler say this week, 'only like 50-year olds use Facebook' - seems about right- glad the youth ain't impressed with Zuckerberg and his dangerous algorithms #teachertwitter #teacher #edtech

Shout out to libraries and library workers. We love and appreciate you 📚 that’s all

@PsyDocCindy the word remediation at top? ouch. #wordsmatter

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! My daughter just brought this home. 🤦‍♀️

I love this—let’s engage students with pursuits instead of standards.

Let’s throw ‘productive struggle’ out with ‘learning loss’ ~ focus on making connections, building relationships and listening. #SEL #teachertwitter #learning
