You’ll do lots of important things today and make lots of important decisions too.

But don’t forget the importance of smiling, laughing, and enjoying your students and colleagues.

Those moments of lightheartedness and connection are probably more valuable than we ever realize.

[Stefani Burosch, MSW, RSW, EdD @StefaniBurosch]

A gem of an article on how educators can support children with a trauma history. Lots of great @Self_Reg links. And as @DrJeanforkids says - connection before correction. @_PuzzlePeace https://t.co/3Td3qgtPz7

Think of your own challenges in responding to the behaviour of children with #ADHD. Did you find it frustrating? Do you think that the child may have picked up on your level of frustration or anger? How did that affect your interactions with the child? #SelfReg

"Can't vs Won't"~ such an important reframe.
This is Child Honouring in action. Respond to unexpected behaviour with compassion, curiosity and Respectful Love.

“Inclusion isn’t forcing children with diverse needs to conform to the accepted norm. Until we shift that mindset, we will continue to send the message to children that they just aren’t worthy; they just don’t make the cut.

And that’s a problem we all own.”

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

Tomorrow is another Monday. As a collective, let's all aim to avoid this thought tomorrow:
❌ "I wasn't trained for this."
And instead think:
✅ "Where can I learn more?"

How will you implement the Growth Mindset model this holiday season?

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

"It's so important to know the difference between 'learning brain' & 'survival brain': students shift to 'survival brain' when they don't understand what they are experiencing, why people are acting the way they are or when there's too much for them to take in." #WhatWeBelieve

A reminder as we go into the second month of the school year. Let's refame this:
❌ "The child is being willful or defiant."
To:
✅ "They are experiencing too many stressors."

And remember: See a child differently, see a different child. #SelfReg

[Dr. Lisa Cranston, EdD 🇺🇦 @lisacran]

Looking at student behaviour through a self-reg lens helps educators to rethink sticker and reward programs of behaviour management. Step Away From the Stickers https://t.co/6yKrmAjSIn

Parent's make a huge difference in their child’s learning and how their brain develops through everyday interactions.

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

First day of school stressors for children in all 5 Domains:
🎚 Biological: Noisy classrooms
👬 Emotion: Excitement at seeing friends
📈 Cognitive: Information overload
⚾️ Social: Feeling left out
🎟 Prosocial: Wanting things to be “fair” for everyone

[Susan Hopkins, EdD @susanhopkins5]
