For anyone feeling pandemic panic, evidence-based emotion regulation strategies:

(1) Labeling: naming anxiety helps us control it

(2) Reappraisal: reframe isolation as family time

(3) Distraction: set goals that redirect attention

(4) Amelioration: take protective action

@cthosick @BellevueSchools @FVFirebirds1 Such a good idea!

[National Association of School Psychologists @nasponline]

When Congress enacted the first #specialed law in 1975, it promised to provide up to 40% of the excess cost of educating students with disabilities.

In FY19, the federal government covered 14.3%.

And FY20? It fell to 13%.

We need #IDEAFullFunding. #NASPadvocates

Want to raise test scores?

Focus on social-emotional learning.

✅ When kids feel better, they act better.

✅ When kids have social-emotional skills, they can focus more on academic skills.

[Dr. Jessica Stephens @DrJStephensVP]

I used to say to kids, “If you need me come see me” & they’d rarely show. Then once I said, “If you need me, come see me & if you don’t know what to say come anyway because I do.”

He was at my door the next day - silent.

They all need us, some just can’t say it yet. #LoveWorks

[SocialEmotionalLearning @SELearningEDU]

Some of our deepest & most meaningful student relationships are borne from chaotic situations when the child is escalated. This is not an accident or coincidence. When kids see us remain calm & supportive we become trusted touchstones that they can turn to no matter what. #SEL

[National Association of School Psychologists @nasponline]

Most suicidal #youth demonstrate observable behaviors that signal their suicidal thinking. Although farm from perfect predictors; #parents, #school staff, and peers can recognize warning signs and take immediate action.

[Bethany Hill🌟#JoyfulLeaders @bethhill2829]

Recess isn’t a privilege. Children need time for unstructured play so they can practice social skills. Teachers can learn so much about their students by watching them play. @GregSantucciOT #JoyfulLeaders #SEL

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Some of your colleagues might seem like they have it all together. They don’t. Everyone has struggles. Everyone is dealing with stuff. And everyone appreciates kindness.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

You’re gonna make mistakes this year. That’s ok... you’ll learn from them. They’ll make you better. Don’t be afraid of the mistakes; embrace the process.

[Jamie Heinzen @MrsHeinzen7]

[Kid President @iamkidpresident]

It's ok to get discouraged. It's not okay to stop.
