@JaniceWyattRoss We have the talk about how we speak different “languages” based on where we are and who our audience is. I explain that the way I talk around family and friends is totally different than at work or in a professional setting; stressing be you, just be mindful of your setting.

@teacher2teacher I want my students to feel safe. Safe to were ideas academically, make mistakes, and take chances but also safe to share about life.

We have no better example than last night's debate on why we must be teaching #SEL at every possible opportunity. Empathy, perspective-taking, impulse control, social awareness, conflict resolution, ethical decision-making........all completely missing. #Debate2020 #letsbebetter

@teacher2teacher SEL.....I love building those relationships, getting to know the kids and helping them understand their emotions better!

[djteach @teachfirstlb]

Never thought of the images that way.

A4: Modeling & showing your thought process and emotions as an educator/adult allows the students to see it’s ok to feel. The real work comes with how to show these emotions in a constructive way. Journaling/drawing out what/why/how emotions are there, good or bad. #SELchat

[SocialEmotionalLearning @SELearningEDU]

Absolutely loving the discussion so far!! Here's Q4:

[djteach @teachfirstlb]

A2: As educators we need to always pause & think about our responses to our students. They come to us with such varying experiences and needs. I feel that if we model this way, showing empathy and seeing others’ perspective, the students will in time follow the model. #SELchat

[SocialEmotionalLearning @SELearningEDU]

Great responses for question #1......here is Q2:

A teacher overheard a black student say “if I grow up”.

Let that sink in.

A child should have zero limits on where their imagination for the future leads them and the society around them should have no barriers to those beautiful dreams becoming reality. Yet, here we are.
