@KevinPe86942331 I think a phone call or email home just letting the family know you have noticed something is going on with their child and you want to find the best way to support them and the entire family in the best way you can

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@sncdveselik I feel as though teachers need to be there for their students everyday, especially if they are in grief, but "being there" is such a broad term and can be different for every student.

@sncdveselik @Mr_VandenPlas

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@tricia_wenzel @Mr_VandenPlas Heck yeah! If you don't model this then why should students? Practice openness and how to be respectful always in the classroom!!!!

@KevinPe86942331 I had a close friend from high school who went through the trauma of losing her dad. She talked about how her teachers never acknowledged it, making her feel alone. What helped her was being able to talk to her friends about what she was feeling mostly #debriefgrief

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@sncdveselik I like to first, #debriefgrief by being alone, and then gradually being around the people who I can laugh and be around who has my back

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@mastrocola_mr @KevinPe86942331 I think that just acknowledging the fact that you don't know how much grief they are in but you would like to understand and help could make the students feel more open to talking to you. Then again every student is different when dealing with this topic.

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@KevinPe86942331 My biggest concern is that I won't know the right words to say, making the student feel as though they can't talk to me #debriefgrief

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@tricia_wenzel @Mr_VandenPlas I agree. I think it would take longer to get used to the schedules, but that could be worth it in the future #pushitback

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@Wildberyskittle @SchrieberAlly @KevinPe86942331 I wish my school was smaller! My school is around 3,000 students so getting around was very difficult with multiple hallways and levels to the school #pushitback

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@KevinPe86942331 A5: My school was huge with passing periods at 7 minutes. It was still hard to even make it to class within that time across the building. I would give students 10 minutes to have a break and make it to class in time! #pushitback

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@stolze_madison @Mr_VandenPlas @sarahellensanks We has that too but they would start at 6am :o Sometimes it was a requirement as well if students didn't have enough credits! #pushitback

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@Mr_VandenPlas We never got late starts. If we showed up late, most of the time we would get detention or a phone call home #pushitback

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@sncdveselik @KevinPe86942331 And this would not be that kind of "good stress" we want in our lives and our students' lives! #pushitback

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@Wildberyskittle @sarahellensanks @KevinPe86942331 Communication is key to achieve happiness with both yourself and the students' success in learning! It takes time to learn how to help students who miss class for sports/extracurriculars but if the students love it then it's worth it! I agree! #pushitback

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@sncdveselik #pushitback great summary right there!

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@KevinPe86942331 @persianofntrest @sncdveselik Tip for teachers that have brain breaks for their students: Do it too!

[EmilyWeise @EmilyWeise1]

@sncdveselik A1: I definitely don't do well with performance in classes that are earlier. I don't participate or listen to what is going on because all I'm thinking about is wanting to sleep. Sophomore Block for example was rough at 8:30am #pushitback
