Some of our students don't know how to identify and manage their emotions. Some students don't have a positive role model to learn from. This is why one of the most important parts of our job is social-emotional learning. Some students can't access core content without it. 🙌

This is your gentle reminder to reach beyond relationships with people who are most like you. See what you can learn about someone who doesn’t fit with your expectations of who people should be. Ready, set, go! #FeelingSeen

What if we replaced the word consequences with experiences? What experiences will help this child to feel safe & connected so the will stay in the room, complete assignments?What if we replaced the words behavior management with behavior engagement? We can never ‘manage anyone!

If you are truly trauma aware,informed,sensitive and responsive,you should understand the role of attachment,the nervous system & brain development. That symptoms are adaptations from growing up in an abnormal harsh psychological environment that you had to adapt to survive🧠🌱

Emotion regulation is not about controlling what you feel. It's about choosing how you respond. Wise people don't suppress emotion. They find constructive ways to express it. Intense feelings don't always demand immediate reactions. They often benefit from deep reflection.

Truth! 🙌
