.@akronschools is asking students to express their experiences and feelings with art or poetry. Takya Primus-Blackmon, an 8th grader at Paul Litchfield Community Learning Center, created this drawing. She is right- we are #InThisTogetherOhio!
#KentCourse_ProfDevTeach Creating an area for students to express their emotions is a great way for them to stop and regulate what their feeling. It is also a great resource for teachers to see how the kiddos are feeling walking into the classroom.
#KentCourse_ProfDevTeach Being able to regulate and understand our emotions can take us so far as learners. Think: Is this a big problem or a small problem? This is a great way to check readiness for learning!
Check out this amazing SEL Opener I caught in a 5th grade class today! Scholars used iPads to access a Pear Deck presentation, but first, they did a stress check to check readiness for learning #shinelikeaClaxtonStar#Socialemotionallearning
Mindfulness is a large component of SEL and should be taught effectively and be used effectively. Enjoying this large class meditation! #KentCourse_ProfDevTeach
#KentCourse_ProfDevTeach Bringing in these real world experiences is a great way to share the importance! Love the idea of practicing a new language and teaching empathy at-the-same-time!๐
Every child deserves to experience safe, predictable, and nurturing relationships when they enter their school building. What steps will you take today to be that person for them? #SEL#everyday#relationshipsmatter
#KentCourse_ProfDevTeach SEL is not only used in the classroom but also on the field. It is important for teachers to make that connection to students about how SEL can benefit us as lifelong learners!
Sports can provide a unique platform for kids to develop a variety of #SEL related skills through both individual & group directed goal setting. This can help practice & refine the same skills of planning, problem-solving, cooperation & persistence needed as an adult. #edchat
