Drug education is not an 'other'. How do we embed this learning in our classes, gyms and fields. PHE teachers across SD 63 tackled this challenge as a team today. @danreist
A simple framework for supporting SEL in high school classes is to reimage the first 3-5 min of class. Start with connection and subtly inserted coping strategies. Needed now more than ever! https://t.co/MbHSrqGkRu
Reminder to all the educators today to take a moment and regulate ourselves. This can be as simple as a few deep breaths, some kind words to ourselves, or a movement break. Sometimes it's the simplest things that ground us.
A great session introducing EASE online. Thankful this resource is now accessible online to all school staff! Now more than ever we need to embed coping strategies in our classrooms.
Constantly learning from our students. Remember to slow down and step into the role of learner. It builds leadership skills in our students and models the importance of being a life-long learner.
One month into the school year and our new normal. Now is the right time to continue to check in and build relationships with our students AND each other! #sel#sd63

Ok my friends, I have been receiving a lot of questions and emails about how to support students who have IEPs at home, and since I have had a bunch of cancelled events, I thought, "Hey! I'll just make my own!" so here is my first webinar! https://t.co/Pk6j3Yxe0O @Eventbrite
Just finished this read and it was a profound learning experience. If you want to challenge yourself to do some deep reflection and learning...dive in! You won't regret it!
Time to start thinking about how to make students feel safe again inside our buildings. Remembering to focus on relationship first when they walk back through our doors. #sel

Friends! I don't know who needs to hear this, but this is just a friendly reminder that continuous learning DOES NOT mean that we are creating fully loaded baked potatoes for every student! We are in a crisis...the goal is mashed potato leftovers!

One of the greatest tools that we have in building #relationships w/ our students is to be dealers of hope. Creating this bond by sharing your belief in them achieving their goals can also be a powerful way to grow a student's positive mindset and esteem. #SEL#edchat#edutwitter
