Guilty of getting through your child's favorite book as quickly as possible in order to start the next phase of their bedtime routine? Here's a reminder to slow down and use this time to build language skills: https://t.co/Szg1SC1ERD #earlyliteracy #parenting

A great reminder!Model for your kids what you want to see then become!

It's #WorldBreastfeedingWeek.
#Breastfeeding is one of the best ways to ensure a child's health & survival. But nearly 2 out of 3 infants aren't exclusively breastfed for the recommended 6 months & this rate has not improved in 2 decades. We ALL can support breastfeeding mothers:

Slowing down scares people, but speeding up doesn’t always get you to where you want to go.

"Go slow to go fast." @KimRues argues that not taking the time to strengthen relationships and build communities within schools will only lead to more of a struggle. Read more in her @EdSurge article. https://t.co/GieYYTFM83 @Yale @YaleCSC @marcbrackett

#SEL in action! Great for #planning, #problemsolving, & #decisionmaking. It also seems like a great way to combat a case of the Mondays! 😄

Looking for some #MondayMotivation to share with your class? 🗒

From "make mistakes" to "make time to learn," this chart encourages Ss to get inspired, grab a sticky note and set a new SEL goal for the week!

Imagine if we stopped trying to modify the behavior of people and devoted those resources to modifying the environments that don’t allow all people to thrive. #equity #incusion #traumainformed #SEL

Equity in education means providing students with what they need based on their unique interests, talents, identities, cultural values, and backgrounds. Learn about how we can use #SEL as a lever for equity here >> https://t.co/mA2jvMDeyY @caselorg @Yale @YaleCSC @marcbrackett

[Sharon Packard @DrSharonPackard]

Love this monitoring tool! Easy and hits multiple #SEL competencies! Never underestimate the importance of helping students to monitor their own emotional state and communicate their feelings effectively!

[SELspace @SELspace]

Easy and quick daily check in.
Kids have the five different coloured blocks in their desk.
They put one in the corner of their desk when they come in. The colour can change throughout the day.
The white block can be added if they need to talk to you.

[CASEL @caselorg]

26 years ago, CASEL introduced the term “social and emotional learning.” Since then, we’ve continuously refined this concept to advance high-quality SEL. Today, we’re proud to share updated SEL definitions and framework: https://t.co/vcsLkVyxIx

We used our #empathy meter #Jamboard yesterday for the first time. Students moved a sticky note to the meter to show where we are as a class. Lots of work to do in breakout rooms to ensure all students feel valued. Fantastic exercise! #SEL #selfirst #sharesel

[IRC Innovation @innovateIRC]

Love being able to see all the ways @Wabasso_Phoenix RISES! Social emotional learning, differentiated academics, & real world experiences are the cornerstone for the amazing work these passionate educators do at this school❤️

@ChrisKohlstedt is rocking it!
