@FixingEducation I feel like a nonveteran teacher asked this.

Always remember that perception is reality to students.

How we make them feel matters. 🙌

Recess , unstructured play, & classes like music, Arts, physical education, etc. are not only the reason some students enjoy coming to school, but may be only time students engage in divergent learning ( innovative/ creative learning) which is key for innovation in society.

@dts4mo How about legislation that if you have been diagnosed with a mental illness that could cause you to harm you or someone else, you can't own a firearm.

@WeAreTeachers Only after missed concepts are retaught.

We have always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, unstructured play, and classes like Music, Art, Physical Education, etc. but they have been systemically taken away or reduced because some have decided testing is more important than learning.

Everyday we should ask ourselves: How can we make this fun?!

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Teachers, Principals, Directors, Superintendents...

No matter your salary, education, or what side of the desk you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all.

The fight goes on... inspired by each memory.

The highest level of Blooms Taxonomy is standardized testing ability. No wait it is: Create!
As in creativity. Something children begin to learn when given time for unstructured play, recess, and active learning.

My 8-year-old asked me "Mom, why do schools only track the bad things that you do and not the good things?"

Some students go an entire day at school without anyone saying their name.

Be the adult who speaks to each student by name.

Everyone loves to hear their name.
