Putting Maslow Before Bloom can help students flourish socially, emotionally, and academically—especially when you weave it throughout the school day. 🌱

Improve Tier 1 Mental Health Support!

Student-to-counselor ratios right now are 400:1 or worse. This has been normalized & is unacceptable. The resources are there & I’m calling on states to invest in reducing these ratios because counselors & students deserve better.

Had a great time performing with Cass Quartet at the GSC!!

Field trip to @UMich with the 8th grade today. Not the typical yellow limousine for transportation, and kids did well representing our community!

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

You can't define Tier II or III when Tier I isn't clearly defined & implemented first.

If you find more & more kids needing Tier II & III supports, take a long hard look at Tier I.

That's the hard, simple truth of it.

Pushing into science classes this week to share a short lesson with students. It’s important they know what to expect when meeting with their counselor - including the limits of confidentiality!

Glad to be representing Norup’s GSA at the Berkley Pride Block Party today. Colleagues from BHS and AMS are here as well, along with some students!

- 47% Academic
- 44% Social-Emotional
