@DrP_Principal That young student had experienced the trauma of losing his Mom. His actions were communicating that he was hurting and he didn’t feel loved. You gave him that! All educators should have trauma training to understand that a students dyregulation is not about them.
Thank you to the amazing grp of UGDSB colleagues who spent time exploring universal design as it supports destreaming practices today! @mme_turner @ugdsbequity @ugdsb @UGExperiential @UGDSBProgram
"Please set the standards for the people you want in your life. It’s not selfish. It’s not rude. It’s imperative. You are allowed to determine who gets access to you. You are allowed to want people in your life who make you feel light and supported.” ~Jamie Varon

Such an important reminder as we dive into another school year. It can be frustrating and overwhelming when a #behaviour presents early while everyone is trying to get settled in to a new year/class, but this is a good reminder to shift our focus to what we don’t see♥️ #ocsb
