As schools open this fall: 🔘Some kids will be socially overstimulated 🔘Some kids will struggle w/ increased academic demands 🔘Many kids will need to adjust sleep patterns We *must* begin to focus on #adultSEL & #selfcare now so that we are able to support every student child

"Be a part of positive social change in your schools and in our nation." Dr. Cole #ASCA2020

Hey y'all! Want kids to be able to get back to school in the fall? Want to go see movies in a theater again? Visit a library? A bookstore? Go out to eat? WEAR A MASK! If 80% of Americans would just wear a mask, COVID-19 infections would plummet! Who's with me? 😷 #KidlitForMasks

This was such a special day. Thank you ASCA for providing me the opportunity to interview my daddy and to share his words with our profession. His words have kept me and guided me all my life! Gary Best Parker

Through transformative #SEL, you can use your self-awareness & social awareness to support your effort to be an antiracist educator. Read this article by Dena Simmons in ASCD for more: bit.ly/3euKG9x

We all need to continue to be in solidarity with Dr. Paul C. Harris, a spectacular leader and scholar in counseling and counselor education. His publications are consistently on my reference lists and many other published journal articles. bitly.com/tenureforpaul #tenureforpaul

What an amazing week full of relevant information! #ASCA2020

I feel that I must personally respond to the multiple incidents of #LGBTQ harassment and specifically transphobia directed at me. Your actions perpetuate a spirit of intolerance and discrimination against LGBTQ individuals and specifically transgender individuals.

No student should be forced to go through years of school using their “Starbucks Name” just because their teachers can’t get their real name right.

Welp. This did me in 😭

A half million people in Oregon evacuate as wildfires rage. Over 3 million acres in California burned. The western sky is red. An 800-mile derecho destroyed towns in Iowa. The Arctic topped 100 degrees. The Green New Deal has been called "expensive." Compared to what?

Let’s all stop calling them “wildfires” out West. They are CLIMATE FIRES. It’s a climate EMERGENCY.

Here’s an end-of-the-school-year activity that you can find, download, and print at my website along with about 200 others. I hope it leads to some productive reflection and planning. jarrettlerner.com/activities/
