#Resiliencechat One minute to #Resiliencechat Here's hoping I won't be alone in this endeavor tonight. Though, I always have some good answers to my questions. Hee Hee! I crack myself up!
Welcome one and all to #Resiliencechat This is a safe place where we spend an hour contemplating, answering, and engaging about issues that focus on #Resilience development and its importance on education.
As you participate please use the hashtag #Resiliencechat in all of your responses. We use a standard Q and A so id your responses as such. Again, all are welcome here!
#resiliencechat Tidbit - #reflection: defined
serious thought or consideration.
"he doesn't get much time for reflection"
thought, thinking, consideration, contemplation, deliberation, pondering, meditation, musing, rumination;
Reflection, when done well, is a process in thinking, and it is this thinking that helps us to understand and categorize our emotions. When, we don't reflect, we tend to be more #reactionary, and make quick decisions. Let's continue. #Resiliencechat
Q1 #resiliencechat
When you think of the word #reflection, what types of actions come to mind? Is it a quick process, or something that takes you time to accomplish?
Hey there Dr. Rob and Deb. I'll play along tonight. Sitting here reflecting as we speak. I think as an educator few things are more important than being a reflective practitioner...anyone else up for a little #resiliencechat tonight?

A1 I think it depends. Sometimes it's the lightbulb that goes off. I have been processing emotional and psychological abuse that happened many years ago. So slow and steady. #resiliencechat
Q1 #resiliencechat
When you think of the word #reflection, what types of actions come to mind? Is it a quick process, or something that takes you time to accomplish?
Yes, #reflecting on previous experiences can be very difficult as there is often no clear way to deal specifically with the trauma that has possibly emanated from those early experiences. It becomes somewhat a recovery process that heals. #resiliencechat
Reflection varies from person to person, brain to brain...but I think generally it takes me time to accomplish. I think different people at different times in their own experience have different methods of reflection...but for me, it takes a little time #resiliencechat

In our busy, busy lives, we often attempt to be #reflective people, yet, the demand to be #reactive and make quick decisions is a large burden for us as educators.
Q2 How might we instill a process in classes or life to become more truly #reflective? #resiliencechat
Love this: I find that when I am so focused on some levels of work I end up working very hard managing the work, and yet, don't give myself the time to truly allow #thinking and #freethinking to occur. Yet, when I do, I feel so much better, as new ideas flourish #resiliencechat
@KaliSlusser asked #resiliencechat What do you do if the feedback / data / information you receive is only #negative? So, let;s make this Q3 for tonight? What should we do we do with that type of information? Should it change our #reflection process?
Tidbit: A week from tomorrow I will be having a session with an oncological psychologist. Yes, a psychologist specifically for people with cancer. #resiliencechat
A2: Being #reflective takes practice and a lot of patience. Meaningful discussions, opportunities to develop those speaking and listening skills paired it with mindfulness. Be reflective be successful. I believe that. #resiliencechat
Or, should we slow down and provide ourselves time to be #reflective as part of our normal process? #Resiliencechat I'm finding that the more I structure some #reflective time, the more I feel accomplished in bringing new ideas to problems, rather than applying old fixes.
A3 I find myself asking the person giving me the negative feedback to find a better way to communicate what could be valuable. It's important to express things in a more positive way. #resiliencechat
I think it's up there at the top of the hierarchy of learning. Reflect on what you have experienced and what you have learned, I really believe that's how one becomes better at what they do. #resiliencechat
A3 Sometimes Mr. MIT says things that I perceive as critical. That has the opposite effect of what he would like to see happen. I think we are starting to learn how to shift the other person so that important life lessons can be taken in as intended. #resiliencechat
#resiliencechat
A3 It doesn't matter if the feedback is good or bad, the #reflection must be true and based on a criteria that we apply. If someone doesn't like me, yet, they give me data I can use, I don't want to dismiss it, I want to understand it first, then let it guide me
#Defeated? You? #NEVER! Simply having someone not agree with you is life, and if everyone agreed with me all the time, I probably am no longer needed, so, you focus, plan for the next step, regroup, and plan to change their perspective. See my other tweet too! #Resiliencechat
What I struggle with is is someone being judgmental of me for the sake of being judgmental or do they really have something worthwhile for me to learn. #resiliencechat
Q4 In our classes, we often say, we want students to #reflect, and yet to we go though a process to teach what this means, or are we just wanting them to give us an answer. There is a difference. #resiliencechat
Yes, there is a difference between someone who has a perception that is not in alignment with ours, and their true motivation is for us to improve, rather than for someone who has a desire to diminish & disparage without honest motivation. See our #trust#resiliencechat

Q3: #resiliencechat you still gotta process it in your own way right? If you are really reflective couldn't you come up with a way it was positive? Made you stronger? taught you this lesson? Gave a new perspective? Negative data still gives info, right?
A4 #resiliencechat#FREE#RESOURCE
Found this, and thought it very good! It provides some specific strategies for working with students to teach what we mean by #reflection.
I dare think that this would be good for staffs and admin as well!

This is the difference between things that Mr. MIT says to me and things that my brothers say to me. Of course they may think they want me to learn, but it feels very different. #resiliencechat
Ahh, young grasshopper, you have seen the ways of the master. There is absolute #empowerment in using the feedback, no matter what it is to drive you towards your next step! #Resiliencechat@Room5Studios#loveit

Some might say that our personal perception that we develop from #reflection is the most important thing, and yet, having a false perception could place us in jeopardy.
Q5 How might we use our powers of #Reflection to confirm out thinking?
A4: #resiliencechat Absolutely. Is reflection a relative term? It's so individualized through each's own reality and own connections....I think you can teach students what reflection means to you, but the experience and meaning of it it varies from person to person. I think.

A5 #resiliencechat I think that we all need to have some trusted colleagues, #PLN or #PLC that we can use to confirm out #reflective thinking, and or be in a safe place where we can try our our new ideas. As #educators we deserve this!
A5: #resiliencechat Yup. That's true. But, if a person is truly reflective might they notice how their own actions and behavior influences an environment and other's actions and behaviors too. If we reflective on that idea, and then figure out how to improve the situation? Hmm.

Q6 #resiliencechat
So tonight, we focused a little bit on #reflection, and I wanted you to think about its importance on your own development. What steps can you take to build this skill in your educational environments to build #resilience?
