In a few days, @AlexSVenet and I will be chatting it up. Come and join us as we talk about what's missing in SEL convos, where race belongs in that discussion, where other isms fall, and we still need to get right.
Tuesday 12/19, 7:30pm EST.

"Freedom means an experience of daily life in which each of us is fully seen and affirmed, treated with unconditional dignity and care, and embraced as an invaluable person of immeasurable worth." ❤️😭Appreciate the actionable steps @CarlaShalaby provides ascd.org/el/articles/ar…
and @NatalieSzeles this article from @nctsn has a lot to consider when planning for upcoming professional development. @cateked and when developing the new strategic plan!
"Principles at a systems-level matter because they help to mitigate cognitive biases and dismantle the white supremacy culture that inevitably prevails, even when the best laid intentions are to advance healing and justice." (p. 6) @kelleral@birdcokernctsn.org/resources/bein…
@CarlaShalaby Appreciate this shift in language! And your earlier post about framing this work with kids as protecting each other. Thanks for pushing my thinking, Carla 💛

in a meeting listening to a 2nd grade teacher talk about her elaborate PBIS system and having a 💡moment about why her students may have struggled to adjust to my class back in the fall —
they were used to doing things for Treats and I wanted them to do things for Reasons
constantly reflecting by asking myself: how might I offer more choice and voice?
Beginning of year- reading partner spots chosen by T w/frog signs made by T.
Today- the room was buzzing w/excitement as Ss created their own signs and selected a spot w/their partner. #WeAreD34
@mlhoofer@BooksandMelanin I’m interested in hearing more about your transition to this job and the job itself! If you have time to connect, please DM me. Thanks!
@CareyCrows@LyonSchool My class raved about the parachute in music class!! Thank you for planning such engaging learning experiences for our Ss @LyonSchool
@CarlaShalaby “snapped out of my coercion haze” <— I feel that!! I’m sure she felt comforted by your warmth, my friend.
Striving to foster a community of care as you taught me, & constantly frustrated that this system is designed and (under)staffed to require compliance. I’m still trying. ❤️
@DenaSimmons I appreciate you naming this and sharing it with your community, Dena. Our mental health deserves the same understanding from others as our physical health. 💜 wishing you well!
Roving cider, hot chocolate, coffee, treat cart! Our fall social committee crew really went all in…Lyon staff is just the most thoughtful and creative! #lyonlearners#weared34
@heisereads TY for putting this together! Do you have a similar list for favorite storybooks? I’m moving to kinder this year & will be doing a unit on rereading old favorite storybooks. Looking to compile an inclusive list of high interest books w/strong plot, more recently published. Thx!!
The @glenview34 full day K team was fortunate to discuss how to incorporate Play Across the Day with author Christine Hertz Hausman! Her book Kids First From Day One (with @MrazKristine) lured this crew to learn from her at a conference 3 years ago! Trust me, READ IT! #kidsfirst
