@davidjpurpura Congratulations Dr Purpura!! This is so well deserved!!!!

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@RutgersAltRoute @Bec_Chirps @Principal_H @rutgersmtss Thank you all!! This was so much fun! I hadn't done one in a while :)

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@SethLevy4 @RutgersAltRoute YES! I love this so much!

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@JohnnyARomero @RutgersAltRoute YES! Students can be such great advocates for each other!

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I love the idea of trying to connect Ss who may be experiencing HIB with other peers or loving adults in the building. I try to help them find clubs or outside orgs to join.

I also try to remind them of their strengths and that often HIB is about the other person

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@laurteachesSPED @RutgersAltRoute 100%

@Andres_Paez21 @RutgersAltRoute 100%

I think that generally it's so hard to know how students are feeling or what they're thinking. We're not mind readers and they have SO many stimuli

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@BeneBalsi @RutgersAltRoute 100%! You can't know everything- it's impossible!

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@carlensha @RutgersAltRoute THIS!!!
Especially right now, young people seemingly resort to extreme responses when facing challenges. It's scray how quickly things can escalate.

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: If classrooms are not safe places, it's really hard for everyone to learn. Ss may be reluctant to speak up and/or participate. Ss who are dealing with HIB may be avoidant.

I also think that it is hard for teachers to always know what is happening in hallways, ect

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@KabbaniGSE @RutgersAltRoute Oh love that!! What are some of these channels?

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@laurteachesSPED @RutgersAltRoute That's really cool!!

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: 1 thing that I try to do is lead with empathy. I try to serve as a role model through my language and actions.

I also see partner schools with WellCheq (@CheqWell) sharing some of the anonymous emotional reports with Ss, so they can see that others may have similar feelings

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@nasonlollar @RutgersAltRoute Yes!! So often people just want to feel heard.

We may not always have solutions, but we can hear them!

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@laurteachesSPED @RutgersAltRoute I statements are so important and such a good habit for students to develop!!!!

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@NafeesaIq @RutgersAltRoute Love this!!

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: I always try to lead with strengths whether that is for the student and/or the other class.

For example, I know that this teacher does a great job with XXX, how are they supporting this student with Y? And/or how do you handle Y with student X?

@CHGISGOD @RutgersAltRoute OH! I like that so much!! I think sometimes students don't always know/recognize what bullying is

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@SulagnaPatra @RutgersAltRoute That's so important!!!

[Jodi Miller @jodes39]

@cscianca20 @RutgersAltRoute I love that!! Cheering each other on! Building a culture around that is so great!
