Here is a ten-minute explanation of what Socially Shared Learning Regulation looks like when done using a Barriers and Strategies protocol. It lives on the website now, under "Information for Educators." #ActivatedLearning #NerdAlert youtube.com/watch?v=u3M_e9…

⬆️real or perceived barriers⬆️

We can do hard things when we share strategies for success in spite of perceived barriers @LCFaith

Kicking the year off with an introductory primary version of the BSP. Stay tuned for student-generated strategies and introductions to each executive function… @LCFaith

@LCFaith Practicing our listening skills, emotional control and response inhibition. Can you listen quietly to the sound, make a guess, and store it inside your brain instead of blurting out? Yes we can!

@LCFaith It was interesting to note that not one child was concerned about academics being “too hard.” This is my reminder that school is always, ALWAYS, about the “feels” and emotions attached to good (and poor) mental health. Relationship building must come before anything. 😊

How incredible to give space to children's feelings like this. Also, I wonder which of these barriers was the most surprising or off-radar for you @BarrowsBatch? What part of the student experience did this conversation help you pay more attention to? #ActivatedLearning

I'm sending my kindergarten parents links to FREE, online decodable books for practice over the summer. I'm sharing in the thread below; please feel free to add any I've missed. Must be completely free, and preferably no registration, etc., required. Thanks!

Dear friends in ON. I think you have all received your books. Yay! Just a reminder that if you were involved in my research or if you shared your teaching story in our book I would be absolutely delighted to donate a 1 hour talk to your school! Hit me up, peeps! @guilfordpress

Twitter, meet my sister Cathy. Oh mercy - look at this text. She is literally the greatest human ever born. LOL. Who does this?!? #ActivatedLearning #Family #SmallTownProud

@LCFaith is a genius; she's also a worthy addition to any staff meeting and has been known to speak well in front of others. Teachers, invite her into your school, you won't regret it. I may be biased of course, but educators do need this book! @guilfordpress

PUMPED that the book is out! Deliveries coming soon. Hey @TLDSB and @YRDSB teachers, if you're a contributor please know that I would LOVE to give a 1hour chat to your staff meeting. Hit me up! Just spoke at @R_L_Graham and the staff were magic! #ActivatedLearning @guilfordpress

FLATO is happy to announce a donation towards a new outdoor playground in #Cameron at @FenelonTownship Public School. FLATO is proud to be a part of the @kawarthalakes community! ♥️ @TLDSB #communityfirst

Friends and colleagues in the States are receiving their copies - so exciting! Will be there to support @LCFaith, even if from a distance.

@wendyconsoli @LaidlawCentre @TLDSB @CarolAnneBush @PegDawson5 Our book is now shipping in the US!! We'll present @LaidlawCentreResearch Seminar on March 16th - what it includes, how to use it, and maybe a reading. @TLDSB teachers are big stars of this work! Free. Only 1 hour. PLS SHARE!! @CarolAnneBush @PegDawson5 bit.ly/Mar16LaidlawSem

The “ladder of inference” from a friend who’s used this with elementary school students. This is likely to be helpful to many adults too…whether on the pandemic or politics. untools.co/ladder-of-infe…
