If Kindergarten had more dramatic play, blocks, kitchen, housekeeping, art, and music...the students would have time time practice their social emotional, problem solving, and self regulation skills. Then, their brains will be more prepared to learn foundational content & skills.
Even if a student doesn’t return your greeting this morning, they heard it, and they know you care enough about them to say good morning.
...but just in case, say it again, but this time much LOUDER.
The greatest gift that we can give an emotionally dysregulated child is to stay calm amidst an outburst. By doing so, we are taking the first step in the process of co-regulation and lay the foundation of a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance. #SEL#relationshipsmatter
I remember experiencing these same feelings as a kid! These awards tell our Ss to “try harder”. Ultimately what we communicate is “you aren’t enough.” Is this really the best way to encourage and support our Ss??
I promised I would wait until today to share my thoughts on the idea of Student of the Month, Staff member of the month and the new parent of the month idea I saw yesterday. Very simply I think they are all terrible.

Is anyone else frustrated by so called "equity sticks" ie cold calling students when their name is picked at random. I regard that as an anxiety inducing teaching practice - and there is nothing equitable about it. Why not call them cold calling sticks instead?

Attention-seeking is viewing children through a negative lens...connection-seeking is a positive change in how we see our kids! Let’s change how we see our children and students! It might just change everything! #JBUEdChat#inclusionworks
All students need to experience classrooms that are “safe zones” where learning is maximised. All teachers need to experience the possibilities of creating such classrooms to maximise the learning of their students. All leaders need to support this possibility in their schools.
@mr_isaacs A1. When I think of passion and choice based learning, I think of fun places like science museums. These places teach kids new things FOR HOURS! When we allow choice in our classrooms, we empower Ss to love learning! #jbuedchat#masterychat
