@GwinnettSToPP True. It is hard when your livelihood is at risk. Yearly evaluations for non-tenured teachers is no joke, especially if one self advocates. #CommunitesAreClassrooms
@justschools A5:Raising expectations/lowering attitudes. Too much disrespect going on between teachers-parents, admin-teachers, teachers-teachers. SEL works for students, especially marginalized ones. Isn't marginalization on some level the source of adult conflicts? #CommunitiesAreClassrooms
@GwinnettSToPP@GwinnettSchools You raise an important point. SEL and educator workforce diversity is rarely connected. But SEL will not reach its potential without educators that reflect the students. #CommunitiesAreClassrooms
@justschools A4: Two resources I have found to successfully combine the historical, cultural and digital are the Library of Congress primary source offerings and Teaching Tolerance. Links coming in next tweet. #CommunitiesAreClassrooms
@justschools SEL is a human need. There is no best program or training. Authenticity and openness is all that is required. Simple staff conversations can start progress. #CommunitiesAreClassrooms
@justschools A3: I still believe SEL is a holistic practice for all in the ed community. Decision-making, self-management, relationship skills, etc. Imagine if your school admin led through an SEL lens? #CommunitiesAreClassrooms
@GGENYC@justschools Yes. Online learning is an adjustment for all. Let's use the opportunity to really push the boundaries and culturally responsive curriculum and parent relationships. #CommunitiesAreClassrooms
@thecepdc@justschools A1: Now is the time to pull in parents to truly offer holistic education. Requires more accountability on the part of parents and admins. Students can't do it alone. #CommunitiesAreClassrooms
@justschools The pandemic has dismantled the storyline that teachers are dispensable. Evident now that we are vital to the emotional and intellectual health of students.
Stacy Jones. She/Her/Hers. Interested in moving SEL beyond classrooms to parents, school leaders. All stakeholders that impact student achievement. #CommunitiesAreClassrooms
Join @JustSchools, our community partners & educator allies as we come together to navigate COVID-19's impact on education justice and the opportunities it has created to think differently and together about social-emotional learning and school. #CommunitiesAreClassrooms.
