@teachplusar A6: We have strides to make in understanding the brain science of students who are disregulated / neurodivergent / come from trauma. Schools & classrooms can support PD/resources to understand & respond to students who need self-care to regulate. #SelfCareSeptember @teachplusar

@teachplusar A5: I think we sometimes pressure teachers into a social lunch time, when many would benefit from moments of quiet and calm. We can normalize introverts and quiet time during lunch, and combat the negative view of those who need to be “anti-social.” #SelfCareSeptember

@teachplusar #A4: Self Care Tip - If you need a mental health day… take it. If you aren’t your best self personally, you can’t be your best self professionally. #SelfCareSeptember @teachplusar

@teachplusar #A3: Part 2 - Focus / Bedtime on my phone. I have “I love you. I want to be you for Halloween, but don’t touch this” notes on my personal things. #SelfCareSeptember @teachplusar

@teachplusar #A3: Love this Q! Boundaries are imperative. I regularly reflect on what my boundaries are, and I work to communicate those boundaries as needed. I have no qualms about explaining why boundaries are there for me if crossed. Communication = key! #SelfCareSeptember @teachplusar

@teachplusar #A2: In the moment I take a breath and channel my core beliefs. Responding from core beliefs helps me stay calm, focused, and intentional. #SelfCareSeptember

Santa Anita. A grand place, with a complex, dark history; a metaphor for much of American history. The power of place, of being here and experiencing it, unveils complexity in our nation’s history that must be understood & acknowledged. #NEHwhyhere @JACL_National @NEH_Education
