How to structure school leadership teams to be more focused, disciplined, and accountable: bit.ly/2JByINs @StricktlyJason

Restorative approaches teach our children that we do not impose consequences solely because we are in a position of authority. It teaches our children that we're less concerned with control & compliance, & more focused on connection & concern for others. #SEL #restorativejustice

“If we have students using screens solely for the use of consumption, that is a huge opportunity lost.  But if we focus on students having ample time for meaningful creation in their learning, that changes what the time looks like in front of a screen.” buff.ly/31iEsTF

This week is Start with Hello Week! We kicked the week off with all students signing a poster, Saying Hello, in their native language!

We're already halfway through #StartWithHello Week & have LOVED seeing everyone's #actsofkindness throughout #PowayUnified! Today Mesa Verde Middle School learned the importance of knowing someone's name by wearing "Hello, my name is..." stickers all day! Sandy Hook Promise

MVMS had a wonderful day with Anthony Ceja from the SDCOE as we worked through Restorative Practices.

As we head into another busy week taking care of our kids, let’s not forget to take care of ourselves! I dare you to stop scrolling and take 1 minute to breathe mindfully. #selfcare

It was a full house today at Coffee with Counselors! Parents joined the MVMS School Counselors for a talk on how stress and anxiety affect teens and how parents can help children cope with stress at home.

The Marines have landed at MVMS! Today, all PE classes are participating in PT courses specially designed by Marines. As an Army Veteran, I’m so excited for our Eagles to have this experience! #eaglepride #Brothersinarms #GoArmy

Wonderful staff meeting... Our students became the teachers today as they presented our next No Place for Hate lesson. The lesson was completely student designed. They will visit all of our classrooms this week. Powerful shifts occur when our students find their leadership voice.

Big THANK YOU to our students from 407 who set up a potluck to gift our staff with appreciation! @ Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego instagram.com/p/B6RfENfHUG5/…

Feeling so blessed today. When our admin team couldn’t get out to go caroling with students today, our music teachers came to us!

Sharing a great article... quick read and spot on in so many ways. apple.news/ANmVVpQCjTBubS…
