Excellent, practical and fun resource for integrating wellness in schools...can't wait to review this with our Wellness Team @TAISMOman. #SchoolWellness . cdc.gov/healthyschools… …

"Those with high emotion differentiation tend to use effective coping strategies instead of turning to alternatives like alcohol or aggression." My Ss refer to their "Feeling Faces" or "Blob Tree" each day to help develop this skill. #SkillsBasedHealthEd greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/w…

Big changes in social media use in teens from 2012 to 2018. Cyber bullying less common, hate speech on the rise. Good data to draw from when planning tech balance and communication skills for #healthed. commonsense.org/education/blog…

A5: My daughter’s grade 3 teacher got her class to discuss and make their own class agreements after their first session, and then refer back to it. #SHAPEhealthed

A2 - Hundred of science papers are published every year showing positive links between mindfulness meditation and a wide range of benefits. Here's a list of articles to share with Ss and parents and other staff - it helps them to buy in! #SHAPEHealthEd docs.google.com/document/d/1wc…

A9 - I start every class with a brief practice (2 min), and have longer sessions from Calm on "Mindful Mondays" (5 min learning activity like a video or article, followed by 10 min practice, and reflection). Ss are used to and enjoy this routine. #SHAPEHEalthEd

A5 - "Despite such positive results, there are challenges." Good to have a plan for the inevitable occasions when there are whispers or giggles! I like how this HS teacher explains it #SHAPEHealthEd amp.edutopia.org/article/mindfu…

A7 - During their Food Revolution Project my Ss each sign up for a date to bring in a recipe made from whole foods which we eat mindfully. They clear off the tables, light candles, play soft music, take a mindful first bite, then eat the rest while chatting. #SHAPEHealthEd

Happy Teachers Change the World! I’m excited to share about @TAISMOman’s TTT program at my first #APPEC conference in Hong Kong! An easy program to roll out, with visible effects on staff wellness. #SchoolWellness

“They say they've changed from the days of Joe Camel. But look at what's happening right now...” Big Vape, get ready for a smack down!

A new study finds that greeting students at the door increases engagement by 20% and reduces disruptions by 9%—effectively adding 1 hour of learning per day. edut.to/2N8NH65

Looking forward to this workshop and bringing back new tools for my Ss @TAISMOman

Great video to discuss with students and their parents on Juuls, the 'iPhone of e-cigarettes'. One Juul contains at least as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes, and the product is creating a new generation of nicotine addiction. #healthed

I am piloting the DECIDE comic assignment from #skillsbasedhealthed with my 8th graders. Is anyone willing to share exemplars to show my students? Their situations are related to alcohol but any ATOD example would be amazing! #healthed

If you’re an international school Health or PE/Health teacher anywhere in Asia you need to go to this!

Great opportunity for Health Ed or PE/Health educators in the Middle East. I guarantee you will leave this pre-conference inspired and full of new ideas you can implement right away!

Thank you, Amy! This helped me so much as I was preparing for our first day of Virtual Learning at TAISM.

5 Min Chats with Students. I love these talking points from #CASEL casel.org #SEL #mentalhealth #communication #relationships #healthed
