So...we are in our Healthy Relationships unit & both 6th grade & 8th grade boys keep referencing #Sigma males. I've read about the Lone Wolf type, but is this something I need to be addressing? Is this happening in other classes around the world? #slowchathealth Christopher Pepper (He/Him)

Belonging in schools = feeling accepted, respected, and valued. Imagine a school where every student feels they belong. A place where their unique identities are celebrated, and their voices are heard. This isn’t just a dream—it’s a necessary shift we must strive for.

Thanks Andrew Milne for featuring my blog about Creating Connections through Classroom Rituals. We all know that connections in the classroom are key, so have you thought about how you can intentionally devote time to do this every lesson?

Excited to share that an article I wrote has been published in Edutopia. What do you do to learn students' names? Have you ever experienced people mispronouncing your name?

I've just come across Emily Meadows, Ph.D. (she/her)🏳️‍🌈 International School Wheel of Safety and Belonging. What a powerful tool to initiate some deep reflection and meaningful conversations. It makes me aware of my power and privilege (and safety and belonging) #SEL #DEIJ

"I’d love to live in a culture that could talk about emotions with the appreciation, sophistication and granularity that they deserve." Me too. Thankfully #SEL is starting to value emotional intelligence in schools. nytimes.com/2024/08/15/opi…

It's never wasted time to stop and practice a little gratitude. Today in G8 we tried collaborative gratitude lists, followed by gratitude letters. #SEL #healthed
