Do you feel like a rubber band that has been stretched? Being able to snap back to your original shape takes resiliency, & SELf-Care is a critical component. Which of these practices do you wish was a little easier? https://t.co/LyWcuX98my

@brightmorningtm provides a powerful alternative definition for resilience: the ability to thrive and not just survive. At this time of year, we can all use some reminders on how to thrive in school and life!

Pausing to #reflect on what we are #grateful for in our lives helps illustrate what is most important to us. On this #SelfCareSunday, think about what you value most... choose self-care activities that align to those values and live by them!

Belonging & esteem are 2 of the needs that drive behavior. When we ask students questions & are genuinely curious about their responses, those needs are met & result in a stronger teacher-learner relationship that allows us to share new solutions for recurring challenges. 1/2

To support students in displaying on-task behaviors, we must use a combo of proactive & reactive strategies. In our course, you'll learn practices that set students up for success & effective interventions that refocus.

When a student's behavior is elevated, our first priority is to de-escalate the situation. These 4 strategies are a game-changer! They allow us to preserve the dignity of the student and the group, & often lead to a strengthened relationship with the student!

If we carefully observe our students, however, we can learn a lot from the behaviors they exhibit. Their behaviors tell us a lot - like if they need more movement, time to connect, or a chance to practice . What behaviors have you decoded? What are students telling you?

You’ve probably heard the saying “what you watches grows.” We fully believe in this, especially in the context of #gratitude leading to more in your life to be grateful for! Take a moment to pause & express gratitude for all you have in your life on #SelfCareSunday. #recharge

It is gratitude month! With that in mind, which one feels better? We’d love to hear the most heartfelt lines you’ve said or received when giving gratitude to someone else (written or spoken!)

Did you know that keeping a gratitude journal is linked to many benefits, for both students & adults? Expressing gratitude daily promotes optimism, increases desire to exercise, decreases depression and physical complaints, and helps you sleep better...
