[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

@RPowellDennis97 Schools have to keep parents in the loop utilizing all effective methods of communication: Zoom calls, emails, mass text messages, television announcements, phone calls. All parents have preferred methods of communication. Bi-weekly communication is importance. Social media

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

@RPowellDennis97 Q3: Activities should be priority. Students do thrive in environments where they are able to express themselves in non-traditional ways. Activities are needed. Activities are often extensions of what is learned in the classroom.#K12#TN97EDU

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

It is imperative that we revise the social-emotional curriculum implemented in school settings. In the early childhood portion of education academics is coupled with a social-emotional curriculum. Provide students with support to channel negative behaviors in a positive fashion.

Hello and welcome to the Education Twitter Chat! 👋🏾 Our topic will be "Time To Get Real: How Will School Be Ready for Our Students!"

Let's start with introductions!

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

@RPowellDennis97 Thank you @RPowellDennis. These conversations are necessary to encourage change. Our children are our priority. We have to continue to work together to create solutions to the many barriers they our children face. Let's go to work!!!

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

@CortDotEdu @RPowellDennis97 @agapemeanslove @CISTennessee Absolutely! We have to cultivate and foster those relationships to achieve consistent quality results.

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

@The901Strong @RPowellDennis97 I totally agree. Non-profit organizations have to be willing to provide the necessary support on an ongoing basis. Often times partnership does not mean consistency.

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

@RPowellDennis97 A 6: Make wraparound services a priority. Wraparound services have never been viewed as a priority. We have to meet the needs of the children and their families. All things academically begin with the additional support provided for families. #K12#EDCHAT

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

A5: It is imperative that teachers are provided professional development opportunities that place emphasis on bridging the achievement gap, engaging students virtually, and technology training in general. Training in reference to positive mental health strategies is also needed.

[Ruby Powell - Dennis or RPD @RPowellDennisTN]

Q5

#TN97EDU #K12 #EDCHAT #DIGLN #21stCenturyLeadership

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

@RPowellDennis97 A 4: It's really simple. Educators have to provide an individualized learning approach to all of their students. This is not the time to have the one size fits all approach to learning and students in general. Educators have to place an emphasis on positive mental health. #EDCHAT

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

Q3: Provide public education with endless federal funding not just funding based on the number of students attending the school. Large corporations have to become more involved in the funding process. #TN97EDU#K12#EdChat

[Nashonda Johnson @jeanatae3338]

@RPowellDennis97 A2: Colleges and universities should provide social and emotional support to those incoming freshman. Although, they are resilient, they still require additional emotional support. As far as academics, provide additional tutorial opportunities to bridge the gaps in learning.#K12
