You don’t calm your students anxieties by telling them that everything will be fine. In many areas of their life, it won’t. Instead, build their capacity to believe that you will be there to help them survive even the most horrid of circumstances https://t.co/fz9JeyWh34 #edchat
“Every time we help another, love another, serve another, or see another we make music.... Our joined heartbeats play a song that empowers others to do more, be more, love more, and live more.” Quote from Kim Bearden’s book, Fight Song.
I’m a slow learner but I’m becoming a firm believer in human connection. I get to witness its impact firsthand each day. Everyone needs human connection to thrive just as they need nutrients to live. This is real & I’m thankful to work with those who are showing me the way!

When it comes to being creative about how to support students, strike when the iron is cold. The best time to shake things up is not when you’re struggling with them. It’s when they are doing well - when you have the time, energy, and freedom to innovate https://t.co/fz9JeyWh34

As adults we must always be mindful of our body language & tone of voice when supporting kids who are exhibiting challenging behavior or experiencing heightened emotions. A composed, non-confrontational approach that exudes calmness is just as important as the words we use. #SEL
“We must remember the rain is malleable and that consistent caring relationships with an adult is one of the most significant mediators to counter the effects of trauma as it relates to building resiliency” author unknown.
