@GeorgeHarrisson Great, one more piece of data that doesn’t tell the whole picture of a child and highlights achievement over belonging and community.

How to Teach a Student He Can't Always Have What He Wants https://t.co/WZZEbr1mZ4 you know that a student is going to ask for for something and you KNOW that not getting it is going to spark a major come apart, it's really tempting to take away their communication system.

Bu...!

I used to count down to get students’ attention, and I switched to “If you can hear my voice, take a deep breath” (credit to @britthawthorne_). Friends, it has been game changing. I do it along with them too, and the difference is epic. 1/2

John Hattie emphasizes that it’s not how much feedback is given that matters—the feedback must be successfully received, processed, and applied. For students to benefit from feedback, they must have the opportunity to act on it. @edutopia https://t.co/lD2yhU71py

Three frameworks for helping the adults in schools see past what has always been done: changing mindsets, changing habits and changing organizations. https://t.co/GkcGKcGKD8

In order for a school-wide focus on #SEL to take hold & be effective, every adult must take ownership of their role in the work. #SEL becoming a part of a school's culture should be the goal of every member of your faculty & staff. #wholeschoolapproach #systemicSEL #kidsdeserveit

Absolutely love this graphic from WholeHearted School Counseling.

It's not easy, but this is a great reminder to look beyond the anger in pupils and adults to find out what's really going on.

Love seeing this work by my former employer!

School staff—certificated and classified—might need more formal wellness support than you might imagine. This school surveyed their staff and created a helpline to provide them with mental health services. https://t.co/RFwSZKgPlu

With education looking so different than usual, educators still know that in order for kids to learn, they must be ready to learn. They must be able to pay attention, think, connect with others, and feel their potential and inherent worth. @sljournal https://t.co/ZKTeO90mOg

I can’t wait to put what I’ve learned during this training to use!

[UCLA PEERS Clinic @UCLAPEERS]

Here are some more photos from day 2 of the November 4-6 PEERS for Adolescents Certified Teleconference, hosted by the UCLA PEERS Clinic and conducted by Dr. Shannon Bates! Attendees (and some special guests) are currently calling in from 23 different countries!

Holly joined me in my UCLA PEERS certification training yesterday. I hope she picked up some new social skills! #UCLAPEERS

Don't ever underestimate the power of gratitude. Taking time to say thank you to a student or send an appreciative email to a colleague may only take you a few brief moments, but it could make someone's entire day. #SEL #gratefulhearts #relationships #edchat
