“…not someone who you were in competition with to get the best grade or praise.”

What a novel idea.

Connection, not competition.

The education system needs to be updated on the neuroscience understandings on child brain development.There is a lack of common knowledge,common language, and common skills. We need to create trauma informed and neuroscience informed educational systems for better outcomes 🧠🌱

[Monte Syrie @MonteSyrie]

He does diddly-squat on paper or computer.

But he engages enthusiastically, mostly-maturely (he’s a teen), and generally-thoughtfully (sometimes, profoundly) in our daily discussions.

He’s learning.

Proof?

Already gave it.

“But…”

Come on.

See the tree.

A favourite in our #SelfReg graphics blog series is a graphic by @kwiens62 based on the phrase first coined by @susanhopkins5. It has resonated with many #educators and #parents alike. "You Are the Strategy"https://t.co/2juz2H0C5j #SelfReg #SelfRegulation #relationships

HUGE NEWS!

United Nations & World Health Organisation new report stating that the medical model of mental health needs to be overhauled; and that psychiatric diagnosis, labelling & pathologising people who are traumatised, abused, in poverty, & oppressed impacts human rights.

What a great video from the voice of the students we support. Great information for T to better support students with #ADHD #ADHDAwarenessMonth

[Laura Kerbey @LauraKerbey]

October is ADHD Awareness Month.

So, I'd like to share some tips I put together with some young people with ADHD on what you can do to support ADHD learners.

What other tips would you give educators teaching ADHD learners? 💬👇

This incident thankfully did not end in tragedy.

“With our resources being stretched so thin… people are stressed, they’re tired, they’re not on their game, and the student somehow got away.”

As you get ready to vote, please remember that years of under-funding have resulted in strained budgets and real consequences for kids.

A reminder that the PC party is focusing on parental rights, while not committing to concrete actions to help schools meet the needs of kids.
This is a distraction tactic to avoid investing in the funding, resources and staffing that would actually support student well-being.

[Erika Wainwright @EEW79]

This is a great #selfreg resource for the start of the school year for teachers, parents and kids. Focusing on reducing stress and relationship will help to start year of positively. Thank you for sharing!

[Laura Cesaroni, PhD @fernyorkregion]

Some ideas for parents to consider as school year approaches & discussions with school start- this time of year can feel exhausting 💙 Burden of stress is high. Increasing our awareness, reducing stressors are critical @Self_Reg asks us to look deeper, think differently #selfreg

Some Truths about Education -
A Thread

My daughter is one of the 1.8 million pupils currently classed as persistently absent from school.

She's not lazy.

My daughter was one of the 1.4 million under-18s referred to mental health services in 2022.

The trauma is real.
