@tori_mazur @NesbitAnthony @jwstate And not just modeling, but also validating…it’s okay to feel however you feel. I think kids often believe that big emotions are “bad” emotions, so that validation can be empowering. #Together4ELs

A1. I understand how helping students to manage their emotions and giving them strategies to self-regulate them can facilitate their learning, especially for ELs who may have significant gaps in learning. #Together4ELs

A1. Also, if Ss’ basic physiological, safety, love, belonging and esteem needs are not met, then Ss can’t experience growth and discovery necessary for learning (Maslow Hierarchy of Needs). #Together4ELs
