Q1: SEL is how Ss regulate their emotions and interact with themselves and the world. https://t.co/Hckbd7cLJB #mdusdchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:36 PM EDT

A1) SEL is social emotional learning. It's about kids understanding their emotions. Developing empathy towards others. #MDUSDchat

KarlyMoura - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:36 PM EDT

@MrsWard3 Working on it! Reading a star wars book! #MDUSDchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:36 PM EDT

Come join us and talk about Social Emotional Learning! Chat is going on NOW! #mdusdchat #1stchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:37 PM EDT

A1) It's important since we're teaching the whole child. We often talk about the Emotional Quotient (EQ) #MDUSDchat

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:37 PM EDT

#MDUSDchat A1: bc being 11 yrs old is hard right now. Harder than I'd ever thought. #5th

SlpSummer Apr 26 @ 11:37 PM EDT

A1 In addition to empathy, SEL is developing self-awareness toward self-regulation. #mdusdchat https://t.co/B7weyrC8g0

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:34 PM EDT

Q1: What is SEL and why is it important? #MDUSDChat https://t.co/7cuSMcGxQg

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:37 PM EDT

@craigyen The idea of the whole child is huge! Without SEL, the academics won't happen. #mdusdchat

ajyoung53 Apr 26 @ 11:38 PM EDT

a1: SEL is essential to help Ss learn how to empathize, own their emotions & learn how to handle those not so great feelings #MDUSDChat

mrbrownandyou Apr 26 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A1 Fortunately Common Core has brought about the value of speaking and listening to support SEL #mdusdchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:38 PM EDT

Seems to have changed over time. As educators we need to be mindful of this #MDUSDchat https://t.co/4ZgM0FPbbk

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:37 PM EDT

#MDUSDchat A1: bc being 11 yrs old is hard right now. Harder than I'd ever thought. #5th

Megan_Gerdts Apr 26 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A1 SEL is how kids learn to interact with others but also learn how they feel, think, act in diff. situations #mdusdchat

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:38 PM EDT

#MDUSDchat A1: SEL is truly 1/2 the battle teaching 5th

ajyoung53 Apr 26 @ 11:38 PM EDT

@SlpSummer yes regulation is key! I see my a few first graders struggle with that often #MDUSDChat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:39 PM EDT

I was just going to do this for A1) #MDUSDchat https://t.co/uQ5VLR9rQF

mrbrownandyou Apr 26 @ 11:39 PM EDT

Empathy is a learned process that is vital to SEL #mdusdchat https://t.co/e4DzhHH4u9

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:37 PM EDT

@craigyen The idea of the whole child is huge! Without SEL, the academics won't happen. #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:39 PM EDT

@julie_wenger I totally agree Julie! I think it's hard for Ss to be just 11. They are 11 going on 30 and can't handle it. #mdusdchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:39 PM EDT

An important piece is those relationships that they develop #MDUSDchat https://t.co/LRWbsWprtI

Megan_Gerdts Apr 26 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A1 SEL is how kids learn to interact with others but also learn how they feel, think, act in diff. situations #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:40 PM EDT

@SlpSummer Self-awareness is a big part of it. It can be a tough thing to teach to some Ss. #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:40 PM EDT

Q2: What are the cornerstones of SEL that we need to teach our students? #MDUSDChat https://t.co/1KX4XyNYoz

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:40 PM EDT

@craigyen just as state standards have been pushed down, emotions and social issues have followed. #mdusdchat

4mosss Apr 26 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A1: social & emotional learning allows people to learn how to manage their emotions & reflect positive behavior towards others #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:40 PM EDT

@julie_wenger I don't teach 5th, but I have a 5th grader and I fully agree! #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:41 PM EDT

Q2: Recognizing emotions is one of the cornerstones. Here are some ways for the littlest learners. https://t.co/7FmhNdUOzj #MDUSDChat

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:41 PM EDT

@MrsWard3 it's painful in my gut sometimes to live the pain with them. #mdusdchat

ajyoung53 Apr 26 @ 11:41 PM EDT

@MrsWard3 what a great resource! #MDUSDChat

mandi_smithml Apr 26 @ 11:42 PM EDT

Totally agree. It is about reading different situations and shifting our responses accordingly. #Mdusdchat https://t.co/w6v5D9HVO7

4mosss Apr 26 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A1: social & emotional learning allows people to learn how to manage their emotions & reflect positive behavior towards others #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:42 PM EDT

@mrbrownandyou I think empathy is BIG, but self-regulation and awareness is maybe bigger for kids who struggle with SEL #mdusdchat

KarlyMoura - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:42 PM EDT

A2 If we can teach empathy a is a huge piece. Putting yourself in someone else's shoes is huge. #mdusdchat https://t.co/ZpOTEADwNW

Q2: What are the cornerstones of SEL that we need to teach our students? #MDUSDChat https://t.co/1KX4XyNYoz

ajyoung53 Apr 26 @ 11:43 PM EDT

a2 teaching ss to recognize their own emotions and empathize w/ classmates is a huge one! #MDUSDChat

moorecarebear Apr 26 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A1: I believe it's important to teach my students work place interactions as well as tools to help them take care of emotions #mdusdchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A2) One of those cornerstones of SEL is establishing and maintaining relationships. This is huge for elementary and all students. #MDUSDchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:44 PM EDT

So true. They need to understand themselves. #MDUSDchat https://t.co/icahQIsszQ

moorecarebear Apr 26 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A1: I believe it's important to teach my students work place interactions as well as tools to help them take care of emotions #mdusdchat

Megan_Gerdts Apr 26 @ 11:44 PM EDT

A2 Learning to work with and respect people with different social skills, economic, cultures, etc is key #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A2: I think empathy, self-awareness, self-regulation, and social awareness are the big components to SEL #mdusdchat

ajyoung53 Apr 26 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura I agree! my Ss struggle recognize someone else's feelings might be affected by the situation too #MDUSDChat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:45 PM EDT

Remember, you can always find the questions here https://t.co/aEjCwD3qY1 #MDUSDchat

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:45 PM EDT

#mdusdchat a2 frequent revisiting empathy/personal feelings is necessary rather than every 6 weeks. Mindsets need constant care/revision

Megan_Gerdts Apr 26 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A2 Giving kids the tools and words to use in different situations make them empowered for the day they have to do it solo #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:46 PM EDT

Q3: How can we best help our trauma affected students? #MDUSDChat https://t.co/mRgHpxbOMu

ajyoung53 Apr 26 @ 11:46 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura or why someone might feel differently in the same situation #MDUSDChat

mrbrownandyou Apr 26 @ 11:46 PM EDT

This requires conversations and permission to make mistakes with trying to articulate feelings. #mdusdchat https://t.co/JY3y4v67wm

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:42 PM EDT

@mrbrownandyou I think empathy is BIG, but self-regulation and awareness is maybe bigger for kids who struggle with SEL #mdusdchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:46 PM EDT

It's not necessarily a lesson, but it's part of a class' culture. #MDUSDchat https://t.co/ChNNregot8

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:45 PM EDT

#mdusdchat a2 frequent revisiting empathy/personal feelings is necessary rather than every 6 weeks. Mindsets need constant care/revision

SlpSummer Apr 26 @ 11:46 PM EDT

#mdusdchat A2 I LOVE the zones of regulation curriculum,I collaborate on it with my OT, 4 awareness and coping https://t.co/CiOptToUCX

4mosss Apr 26 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A2: taking ownership of your emotions, self monitoring, recognizing that emotions are okay...everyone has them. 💕 #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:46 PM EDT

@mrbrownandyou Well said Jim! #mdusdchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A3) We can support them in their needs and advocate for support. Teach empathy for our students #MDUSDchat

ajyoung53 Apr 26 @ 11:48 PM EDT

@4mosss exactly understanding that the emotions they are going through is ok and that they aren't alone is huge #MDUSDChat

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:48 PM EDT

#MDUSDchat a3: model calm, loving affect, smile, remind them you care, emphasize hope, shed light on positive interactions

SlpSummer Apr 26 @ 11:49 PM EDT

#mdusdchat A3 I try to always validate their feelings, (even if I can't validate their thoughts). =>calm, acceptance https://t.co/y1sYPY8xfn

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:46 PM EDT

Q3: How can we best help our trauma affected students? #MDUSDChat https://t.co/mRgHpxbOMu

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:49 PM EDT

@craigyen I respectfully disagree. Lessons need to be taught over & over again. Not all Ss come able to regulate/feel empathy. #mdusdchat

Megan_Gerdts Apr 26 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A3 Outside of the classroom day to day, I make sure that the family is connected with services the district and county provide. #mdusdchat

mrbrownandyou Apr 26 @ 11:49 PM EDT

My all time favorite quote from Mr. Rogers, "The best thing a parent can do for their child is listen to them." Same for teachers #mdusdchat

What I meant it one lesson or a series of 6 lessons. It's throughout the year. #MDUSDchat https://t.co/tEJyqf7KNy

@craigyen I respectfully disagree. Lessons need to be taught over & over again. Not all Ss come able to regulate/feel empathy. #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@SlpSummer I love the idea of zones, but had issues in implementation. Not all of my Ss went through zones. #mdusdchat

mrkhoney Apr 26 @ 11:50 PM EDT

Agree with this #mdusdchat goes back to building positive #relationships https://t.co/FFu5h1G0LJ

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:48 PM EDT

#MDUSDchat a3: model calm, loving affect, smile, remind them you care, emphasize hope, shed light on positive interactions

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@SlpSummer @MrsWard3 yes! Always validate #mdusdchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:50 PM EDT

We need to teach the students how to listen to each other. #MDUSDchat https://t.co/hWKYFzLGA2

Q4: What resources for teaching SEL can you share? #MDUSDChat https://t.co/7JZ6jX0JkL

mrkhoney Apr 26 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@MrsWard3 thanks - bedtime ran late, lots of stories tonight #mdusdchat

4mosss Apr 26 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A3: humanize their experience. Negatives are often louder than positives in life theyve been given. Make the positives louder. #mdusdchat

ajyoung53 Apr 26 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@MrsWard3 @SlpSummer do you think this could be age related? expressing yourself at 6-7 is hard or they lack the vocab to do so #MDUSDChat

SlpSummer Apr 26 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@MrsWard3 that's rough. it's interesting, I've only used a modified version for my mod/severe ss, tbh #mdusdchat. I use the book a lot.

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@Flocabulary has great videos and songs to help teach SEL. There's a free trial or it's $96/year. https://t.co/qZS0F4z0Oe #MDUSDChat

moorecarebear Apr 26 @ 11:53 PM EDT

Q3: I have found the best way is to listen, be open, give space, be consistent w/flexibility and forgive when a student acts out #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A4: Does anyone successfully get their Ss to take a break when they need it and/or not abuse it when they don't? Tips? #mdusdchat

julie_wenger Apr 26 @ 11:54 PM EDT

#mdusdchat some havent been allowed to have feelings/opinions. Some even punished for presence of emotion that requires action from another

Megan_Gerdts Apr 26 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A3+ In class, modeling respect, concern, empathy and care counts big, but also calling it out when you see Ss model it is bigger. #mdusdchat

4mosss Apr 26 @ 11:55 PM EDT

A4: teaching social and emotional learning in class... I need resources :) thanks in advance! #mdusdchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:55 PM EDT

A4) Here are resources from @edutopia for Social Emotional Learning https://t.co/Dmz4gBp3ID #MDUSDchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@ajyoung53 @SlpSummer Totally. So how do we support the trauma affected kids given that info? #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:56 PM EDT

@julie_wenger Very true. #mdusdchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:56 PM EDT

Q4: @socialthinking is a great resource! I love the Size of my Problem/Size of my Reaction Chart. https://t.co/RmHrJC1jjG #mdusdchat

craigyen - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A4) Reading books with the students and discuss. They relate to characters in story. i.e. Out of My Mind, Wonder, Fish in a Tree #MDUSDchat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Apr 26 @ 11:56 PM EDT

@4mosss Check out @socialthinking They are amazing. #mdusdchat

@MrsWard3 @SlpSummer giving them the resources or the frames to guide them to express themselves a bit better; its still hard #MDUSDChat
