@Insight_Minds@kennisdani@SELearningEDU @SEL_Connection @LessonsForSEL@mollygosline@SELforALL @2020SELExchange @spedteacheriam@MikeMandel Great idea! I’m hoping to make each Friday a creative writing task where students get to play around with narrative writing or address how they are feeling during this time. First prompt is: what’s one positive thing that’s come out of quarantine for you? What’s the hardest? Etc
What I'm hearing a lot of today is that teachers in distance learning situations are struggling to meet the needs of students who receive special ed, RTI, or ELL services and students who read below grade level. Please share any resources you have for these concerns.
Yes! It is difficult & time-consuming. It’s challenging us in new ways. It’s confusing & hard to tell if it’s working. It has broken the traditional mold of education. We are here! So lets leverage it as an opportunity to challenge our assumptions, explore new ways, learn & grow.
Incredibly proud to be an educator this wk. Proud of my community of fellow educators whose careers were turned upside down over the past week. We are resilient, creative, & WE CAN DO THIS! So impressed by everyone’s commitment to put our Ss first!❤️ #edchat#teachersareheroes
@kennisdani Google Classroom has been amazing for me with this. I just posted a check-in this morning! I also plan to use Screencastify for some video instruction; I think seeing my face (and quirky hand motions) will offer some support and hopefully, some encouragement! #BaseCampSpEd
@kennisdani A2: This is a tough one! My students struggle with organization; I am hoping the lack of routine and schedule will not cause too much frustration. Figuring out how to best support them from afar! Google Classroom to the rescue! #BaseCampSpEd
@kennisdani A1: I am feeling overwhelmed but excited for new learning opportunities. I realize that if I am to attempt to foster a growth mindset in my students, this is really a perfect opportunity for me to practice it! #BaseCampSpEd
While I don’t think we could have anticipated what’s happening, it’s really opened my eyes to what an opportunity we have to use #sel and bring about hope for our students in a time of deep uncertainty. Storms happen regularly- how will we equip them to weather them well?
Hey! Need some advice for screen casting! With the highly probably chance that I will need it, are any companies offering free subscriptions with recording capabilities longer than 5 minutes? Tried one today, but I think I’ll need longer than 5 minutes! Thanks for your guidance!
In these times, we adults must acknowledge our influence on children’s well-being. B a role model & show your ability 2 discuss & regulate emotions so your children can B free 2 B their full, feeling selves. Ask: what would my best self say to comfort my child? @rulerapproach
Thanks for the warm welcome, Twitter teachers! Excited to join the conversation! Shoutout to my brilliant and kind colleague (and friend!), @kennisdani for helping me! 💗
