@gafford_allison Not yet. Marcie and Jimmy say it’s great!

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

A1: I plan to treat my classroom like a democracy. (Which I currently already do.). Morning meetings, check-ins, and allowing students to help problem solve will also be crucial elements I will include. #BESPLC

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

@SarahElliott002 Yes! It’s right there for us if we are intentional about it.

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

A6: I think since SEL is THE most important thing—creating a supportive environment where students are self-reflective and have ownership of their learning, it will be integrated through the entire day. We just need to walk walk and talk the talk to make it work! #BESPLC

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

A5: I think that weekly goal setting will be a good place to start. Set goals on Monday—work throughout the week on that goal, check in on their progress, give them time to make changes as needed. It’s important because it gives them ownership of their learning. #BESPLC

A4: I feel as though my students and I generally care about each other. I know what’s going on in their lives and they feel comfortable talking to me. I can increase warmth by including families more. #BESPLC

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

A3: Whenever there is a new rule or procedure to be put in place, I will include them in the creation of it via morning meeting. They can also call class meetings to address concerns or questions about our classroom rules, etc. #BESPLC

@ElainaH88748267 @AnnMari84750127 Ditto!

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

@nbabladelis Yes! Distance learning is really helping us to be so specific!

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

A2: I feel as though we have been “training” for this for years. The way we use target talk and focus on life-skills rather than just saying “good job” really hones in on what students achieved. Having them articulate what they are proud of and what they need help with. #BESPLC

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

@aliciamstrick @SamanthaLCoy Yes. I made note of this while@I was reading. Definitely logical consequences!

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

@ColleenAdam4 Yes, Colleen! Writing is such a powerful tool.

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

@cegielski_a Great idea. I didn’t think of this when I wrote my response but it makes sense!

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

A5: My main priority would be to make sure that I understand it in order to execute it with fidelity in my classroom. Also to make sure we spend time talking about it in team time (which I’m sure you have planned) so we can all be on the same page. #BESPLC

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

@LaurenN81031384 @SamanthaLCoy Right on! We need to work extra hard now to maintain the relationships we have built, reach out to those we aren’t as close to, and give ourselves grace to figure it all out!

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

@ColleenAdam4 Exactly, Colleen!

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

A4: I think that with our focus on SEL, it will naturally draw our intentions toward how we feel and how we make others feel...both the big and little people we work with daily. I think it will remind me to check in on myself & also check in on my buds. #BESPLC

[Jenn Crawford @JennCrawford16]

@cegielski_a I agree. Managing emotions is difficult for so many adults. Maybe it’s because we didn’t practice SEL’s when we were younger.
