Huge thanks to @octaviahousesch and @__barls for yesterday’s visit! Loved the calm atmosphere in school & great to see butchery skills in action & to witness an early performance of a future music star! Well done to all staff and students
@IanWright0 we are at a conference thinking about the impact teachers have on lives and have just watched the video of you meeting Mr Brockley. Thank you so much for providing such a moving learning experience for us @__barls @octaviahousesch
Thank you so much to all who came to my workshop this morning; your care, energy and thoughtfulness towards your pupils was just brilliant. Amazing to see how much our children are valued and remain at the centre of all we do #nassconference#empathy#therapeuticschools
"My Ma's got her own trauma and so probably has my Dad. This is not about blame, shame or judging parents." @James_vru courageously sharing his experiences to help understanding of what #ACEAwareNation looks like.
Really wishing I had some Scottish heritage today - the work they’re doing for their communities and the society as a whole is SO INCREDIBLE, SO HOPEFUL, SO COMPASSIONATE, SO PROACTIVE #ACEawarenation@ACEAwareNation
Absolutely agree w/ this, our school systems must nourish the staff if we really want to nurture our students. We must privilege the relationships that are critical to addressing trauma & building resilience if we want learning to happen #RelationshipCentredSchools#OneGoodAdult
“Kids don’t join gangs, they’re always escaping.” and “If you treat weans right, by and large they then turn out right.” - both fantastic, raw and inspiring quotes from @James_vru at the #ACEAwareNation Conference. @ACEAwareNation
Thank you @James_vru for your honesty about your own life, the support you’ve provided to so many others along the way & your inspiration to all at the #ACEAwareNation conference today. Scotland is truly benefiting from your ACEs to assets journey.
