The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us, but those who win battles we know nothing about #BESPLC

A6.- the seamless integration of the SEL practices lends itself to all facets of our classroom day. All components and practices make it a natural extension and carryover to every subject in our daily routines-nothing is forced or contrived #BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

A5-we will use exit slips to check for understanding and reflection opportunities as to their meeting or modifying the goals they established #BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

A4-through the use of conducting morning meetings, explicit demonstrations, and modeling I will I establish and foster a warm and supportive environment #BESPLC

@heather62534873 @marissadfranks @SamanthaLCoy I love the idea. Maybe even a “praise wall”?

[james ellis @jellismbe]

A3-I will provide opportunities for student choice , peer tutoring, and controlled opportunities, and more student input. However, sometimes negative consequences are a result of poor choices #BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

@Lindsay00565075 @SamanthaLCoy Lol. That’s exactly what I though. The pendulum swings again😊

[james ellis @jellismbe]

A2- using what we learned in ITI, we already have been using specific target talk with specific feedback. I will continue and deepen that practice #BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

@RobinHutchens7 @SamanthaLCoy I love this idea. I plan on doing similar things as well.

[james ellis @jellismbe]

That should be morning meetings

[james ellis @jellismbe]

I plan on conducting or I gotta meetings and creating a mission statement as we review and prioritize rules and procedures #BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

A1. I plan on creating a mission statement with my class. We will discuss rules and procedures and rules and prioritize during morning meeting times#BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

@JennCrawford16 I agree. I want to make sure I understand the components before trying to piecemeal the whole program together without full understanding.#BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

A5-my goal will be to try to take a deeper dive into SEL practices as opposed to just giving everything a surface level introduction. In the past, I have tended to try to master everything’s once with limited success #BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

A4 I think it is importantthat we make sure we practice what we preach and not model the “do as I say, not as I do”. Explicit demonstrations of desired behaviors are very important and children learn what they live #BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

my biggest takeaway would be the realization of how much more imperative that we take these learnings and apply them in light of the world changing events that are now unfolding around us. When we do return to school, the entire structure of society will have changed #BESPLC

[james ellis @jellismbe]

@aliciamstrick @SamanthaLCoy I agree I think having a systematic approach to all of this will make it much easier to implement.

@SamanthaLCoy A3- my biggest takeaway would be the realization of how much more imperative that we take these learnings and apply them in light of the world changing events that are now unfolding around us. When we do return to school, the entire structure of society will have changed#BESPLC

@BiancaBashor I love this idea😊

[james ellis @jellismbe]

@asmith002 I totally agree that relationships are the bedrock to a successful classroom.

[james ellis @jellismbe]

My greatest strength is the relationships I build with my students. I truly believe it is the foundation of all instruction. Biggest weakness-self management and focusing on the most essentials.#BESPLC
