In a world that’s been separated by screens, teaching this recognition is more important than ever. Teach students to recognize it in others, and they’ll learn to be more self-aware and be able to reflect! Empathy exists in connection, and strengthened in reflection!
The need to regulate emotions, find inner calm, and be socially connected will crop up throughout the day for students—just as it does for adults. Your SEL toolkit should be flexible enough to respond in real-time. Good new piece from @edutopia.
Love this. I let them students know that even I won’t interrupt them and both their classmate and I will wait patiently until they say they’re done. It almost immediately disarms the student and allows us to have honest conversations.
I can never state this enough. We don’t force students into submission, we lead them out of their emotions. Be calm against the rage and give them time to process and regain awareness.
Did you know Outride’s Riding for Focus program is a great SEL tool as well? Getting kids on bikes and learning how to ride around trails and their community weaves perfectly into the self-management and self-awareness competencies. @RidingforFocus #ridingforfocus#wholechild
We know sports provide an opportunity to build physical capabilities, but they are also a prime place to teach social, emotional and cognitive ones as well! (Filmed in February 2020) #HowLearningHappens
Such a small thing that makes all the difference. It’s a practice we always do in person, why not push that to our mobile students as well? We have to remember that the only breakthrough in isolation is collaboration and we can be that hand that brings them out.
Article perfectly pairs with just one aspect of what we discussed at NEI this week—we must rethink and decide now how we want deep and authentic learning to occur, especially for those outside of our brick and mortar!
Education technology usage has exploded during the pandemic.
Parents, teachers, and students need more support in dealing with potential privacy issues. https://t.co/xxhvx5XV8U
Digesting all of the messages these past two days from the National Education Institute. Getting ready to embrace, not brace against, the change needed for effective and equitable education. Thank you @CSUSAJonHage@nickvujicic@ToddWhitaker and the team from NEI! #BeTheLight
