Students reviewed PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) expectations today during assemblies, before playing some games. Thank you, Ms. Walker, Dr. Watterson, and Ms. Means for helping lead the assembly.

Remember kids: Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible!

A few more cards… these kids have my WHOLE HEART!❤️🤍❤️🤍

This was my favorite #NSPW ever - speaking to 5th graders as an “expert” in school psychology, being gifted with their beautiful cards, spending 2 days learning at #ASPP catching up with old friends & meeting new ones, and working with the incomparable @_charlesbarrett 🫶🏻

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, a day to celebrate our resilience and strength. It's also a day to acknowledge that sometimes, we need help and support to overcome challenges. Let's make a promise to ourselves and others: to be kind, understanding, and patient. 💙

Today we celebrated our students' good behavior with a PBIS rally! Congrats, Dukes, for consistently following schoolwide expectations. Keep it up! https://t.co/aHsMPwoeKg

A well-rounded education is incomplete without instruction in the arts.

No matter the medium, the arts are a powerful tool for engaging & empowering students, providing them with a consistent, positive outlet for creative expression & personal growth. #BecauseOfArtsEd

Here’s to year 11 @DukeCitySD ❤️🤍 let’s get it 💪🏼

Has your district started one initiative only to abandon it and start another one, without allowing time to see results? Instead of thinking about short-term fixes, think about building effective habits for long-lasting, sustainable change. https://t.co/IKNydFzJih

A new study on social and emotional learning was just named an APA Editor's Choice article for “reflecting science that is exceptionally important.” This systematic review of 12 meta-analyses sheds light on the effectiveness of #SEL. https://t.co/TPPEpIko9C. #Education #Research

The youth mental health crisis began long before the pandemic.
If we are serious about reducing kids' suffering, here's a (not-exhaustive) list of what needs to happen....
Feel free to add more, and also to tell any/all stakeholders that it's time for serious action!
