The first step of #SelfReg is to #Reframe: to recognize when we are dealing with limbic braking and not "mental laziness". There is a world of difference between not being able to make an effort and not making an effort.

In cutthroat cultures, people kiss up and kick down. They protect themselves by currying favor with people in power and exploiting those without it.

In supportive cultures, people speak up and support down. They protect people without power by raising problems to those with it.

I feel like this is my everyday educator motto. Thanks for putting it into words so perfectly @AdamMGrant !

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

If you treat people like they're smart, they're eager to learn. If you assume they're dumb, they tend to disengage.

People generally have the ability to understand if you help them find the motivation. When you show confidence in their capability, they become more curious.

Once the Continuum of Supports has been established & is functioning as an integral part of team meetings & a significant part of a school’s #collaborativeresponse, constant refining & revision will be a natural part of the process. This work is never complete! @Jigsaw_Learning

[Kurtis Hewson @hewsonk27]

Professional judgment is still at the heart of Collaborative Response and the scores on an assessment should never replace the collective wisdom of the team! @LornaHewson @Jigsaw_Learning #collaborativeresponse
