Hi all, I created this twitter page for academic purposes in order to network and connect with educators worldwide! Looking forward to connecting!

A8 My former K-12 @PunahouSchool has an entire psychosocial department dedicated 2 teaching students how to be aware of themselves and others. They allows students to teach others the material too and are able to build very close relationships and community. #LearnLAP

A7 Resilience. Helping them understand that failure leads to greater things even when they cannot see it themselves. Failure pushes us to grow and to develop, it leads us to greater things #LearnLAP

A6 Find supportive resources for them. Go the extra mile and give them the time they need to understand what they may be confused on. Offer enrichment or tutoring before, during, or after class. #LearnLAP

@jedjnr I think students definitely worry about being picked out from a crowd which may also be a reason why students would not be willing to open up. Super important to create a classroom environment that is safe for all! #LearnLAP

A5 Morning check ins. I always like doing "PIE" check-ins. P-physically, I-intellectually, and E-emotionally. If something sticks out specifically, its also important to follow up and have a friendly conversation to see if you (the teacher) can provide extra support #LearnLAP

[Maya Peterson @MissMKWP]

@MissMoeTeaches would have done the same to me too. It's so awesome to see students that young advocating for themselves!

A4 With SEL knowledge, students are able to manage themselves better and are more effective communicators when problems arise. They know how to identify their feelings and what the other may feel. #LearnLAP

[Maya Peterson @MissMKWP]

A3 Additionally, let students know that you (as a teacher) are always open to talking. Making them feel welcome and creating a safe space for conversation #LearnLAP

[Maya Peterson @MissMKWP]

A3 Change up morning routine? Allow students time to greet each other and have small 1-2 min conversations based on a question with several different friends. Morning check ins to build empathy and understanding #LearnLAP

A2 I love using GoNoodle! I work with 3rd graders as well as a 4th and 5th grade combo GATE class. I LOVE engaging in mindfulness meditation with the older students. #LearnLAP

A1 For the students I work with, I love being able to pose a question to everyone, myself included so that we are able to solve it together!! #4thchat

[Maya Peterson @MissMKWP]

@JennRegruth exactly! I am learning from them just as much as they are from me! #4thchat

[Maya Peterson @MissMKWP]
