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