Wynne Kinder was spot on: "Assume that trauma is in the room. Do not try to re-trigger anything but support everyone."

No matter what you do, get students to write! Have a guided question, picture, word bank to help support the process. Use their own stories to practice writing!

Powerful words by Garrett Derr, “Educators can be a barrier to a student’s learning if they are stuck in their ways.”

Empowering to listen to Kyla Bailenson share about teaching students to be Up Standers! Showing them how to stick up for people, not just be a bystander!! #MUESLInstitute19 @millersvilleu

Day 1 of ESL Institute: It’s ok to be uncomfortable around issues. It helps us be stretched and exposed to new perspectives, opinions, and realities. Definitely using community agreements this year in first grade and teaching them through meaningful discussions! #MUESLInstitute19

@B_Russell_Diaz It appears that more Nigerian students are coming to the US for higher education. What do these students do when they graduate? Do they stay in the US or take their education back to Nigeria? #511global

@aim503 This makes sense that Sesame Street would devote so much time and energy on this topic in their episodes for Nigeria. It is so prevalent and needs to be discussed to young children viewers. The more people are aware, the more they can do to help themselves. #511global

This article points out the growing population of Nigeria and its demands on resources. Many children do not attend primary school and if tey do, are not completing their primary education. Primary schools need to be a priority in all countries. #511global

Nigeria, even after its independence, continued to follow British methods in structure, organization, administration and content in their education. Did British imperialism stifle organic Nigerian education developments? #511global

[Kelli Gehman @kelli_gehman]

Being a Pre-K teacher, I was excited to read that Nigeria is taking efforts to equip parents and caregivers with supports to educate preschool children. The ECCDE and ECC are organizations that the government has taken steps towards the importance of early childhood. #511global

@B_Russell_Diaz I agree, socioeconomics is a factor in drop out rates in the US, but the focus is often on the socioeconomic status of the student rather than the quality of the facilities the student is learning in. #511global

[Kelli Gehman @kelli_gehman]

@wmjenkinsMU I agree, children should have a right to their own childhoods. It's a step in the right direction, at least. #511global

@aim503 It's amazing how one woman can offer such an example to the rest of the women population! #511global

This article shows the lack of education that Native Indian students are receiving. The government needs to put their words into action so that everyone has access to quality education! #511global https://t.co/XUHhzwAoFU

[Kelli Gehman @kelli_gehman]

India has placed priority on higher education, similar to Mexico. This allows for the middle class to earn advanced degrees. #511global

[Kelli Gehman @kelli_gehman]

I was surprised to read that India's primary school facilities are lacking basic supplies. Operation Blackboard helps the primary schools receive the funding they need to bring their schools up to par. #511global

[Kelli Gehman @kelli_gehman]

@B_Russell_Diaz They are equipping their students to succeed even after schooling. Education is to prepare students for their future, and Japan is doing just that! #511global

[Kelli Gehman @kelli_gehman]

@jmconrow Moral education and collaboration is something that our US schools lack. Yes, we are strong in being able to work in groups, but there is not as much importance placed on morals in schools today. It feels that is slipping away. Japan could teach us a thing or two! #511global

[Kelli Gehman @kelli_gehman]

A great article that highlights Japanese education and its accessibility to all socioeconomic groups. "Poor areas, but not poor schools." #511global https://t.co/LAi25bFhQU

Japanese women have the role of wife and mother, whereas in US, American women are constantly proving their worth and independence in careers outside of the home. We cannot forget the importance of motherhood and how significant a job it is. #511global
