Have you ever wondered how social and emotional learning (SEL) could make a difference in your students, classes, and schools? Check out our infographic! #SEL #xSELnt

The new Bardia PS opened this week. A wonderful , modern and innovative place for our students. Congratulations to staff and students on starting 2019 in their new learning home! Murat Dizdar Kathy POWZUN

Educators should focus on our responsibility in helping to address a student's skill deficit and less on how or why the deficit exists to begin with. The goal is education, not blame. #SEL #noblame #KidsDeserveIt #edchat

A new study from RAND: How are teachers setting goals for social and emotional learning? Evidence from national representative surveys. rand.org/pubs/research_…

Emotional & cognitive functioning skills are stage & state dependent. We can't always access all of our skills all of the time. Stressors & life circumstances directly & significantly impact our ability to regulate ourselves, relate to others, & problem-solve complex issues. #SEL

"...we need to remember that our society improves when both academics and social-emotional skills are developed." #SEL #edchat #KidsDeserveIt #bestEd

Calmness is contagious. Remaining #calm in the face of disruptive and/or unexpected student behavior helps foster the emotional regulation skills we hope to see in our Ss. This benefits not just the child who is struggling in the moment, but everyone in our presence. #SEL #edchat

When we work w/ students who have experienced #trauma we must continually balance their need for stable, predictable routines & being flexible enough to meet them where they are at during times of struggle. This is more of an art than a science. #SEL #dailypractice #kidsdeserveit

We need to accept that some kids are not at school for the academics--they are there to be loved. Once they get that love and feel safe, we can work academics. #teachergoals #kidsdeserveit

Should be mandated for every educator in Australia to read this!

As adults we must be secure enough in ourselves & our feelings to allow for students to challenge our thinking & question our actions. Our growth is just as dependent on feedback from students as their growth is tied to feedback from us. #SEL #growthmindset #edchat #KidsDeserveIt

Schools that are best positioned to help move the critically important work of #SEL forward have a culture of shared responsibility for all learners. Students are not "mine" or "yours", but OURS. #edchat #collectiveefficacy

As a follow up to our functions of behavior overview at our staff meeting, we will continue to look for the “why” to better address the needs of our students Mesa View Elementary #RomoGrows

Criticism from ppl that you do not respect, however justified & well intentioned it may be, will never be as productive as criticism that is shared from a meaningful relationship. Foster this dynamic w/ your students everyday so that they can truly grow from your feedback. #SEL

The work of an educator is no longer singularly focused on improving academic proficiency, but also on how we increase our student’s healthy coping skills, respectful communication, effective problem-solving, and ability to navigate various interpersonal conflicts. #SEL #everyday

Some of our deepest & most meaningful student relationships are borne from chaotic situations when the child is escalated. This is not an accident or coincidence. When kids see us remain calm & supportive we become trusted touchstones that they can turn to no matter what. #SEL

Working with students is going to make you feel uncomfortable and vulnerable at times. This is a natural part of the process and is necessary for positive change to happen. It's also necessary for your classroom community to grow together and learn from each other. #SEL #everyday

The greatest gift that we can give an emotionally dysregulated child is to stay calm amidst an outburst. By doing so, we are taking the first step in the process of co-regulation and lay the foundation of a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance. #SEL #relationshipsmatter
