I always like to start out each #resiliencechat with a #resiliencechat Tidbit. Here's tonight's...

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:06 PM EDT

#resiliencechat Tidbit:Some news items & current events can cause Ss to experience joy;other times fear, confusion & anxiety #resiliencechat

Q1: What grade/subject do you teach and do you bring in or talk about current events/news in your classroom? #resiliencechat

StaciaHang Aug 28 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: K-5 School Counselor- typically current events are introduced by Ss during small group or individual sessions. #resiliencechat

Wes73057488 Aug 28 @ 10:11 PM EDT

I'm an ED student currently, but I definitely plan to use current events in the classroom! #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:12 PM EDT

Many of our #educators are conversing with students with intention, thus, the world sometimes becomes part of that process #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Q2: How have you witnessed news of the world (and even what may be going on in your backyards) being received by students? #resiliencechat

arron_degracia Aug 28 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1: I work with 9-12 and try to connect everything to real world application, #relevance is 🗝 with teenagers #resiliencechat

EdNavigation Aug 28 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: While not my students per se, what's happening is taking its toll on the young people I support. Much anxiety. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:15 PM EDT

Hi Arron! So important to connect things in school--whether it be news or subject matter--with relevance to the Ss. #resiliencechat

In reply to @arron_degracia

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Whew!! Almost thought you weren't going to be here tonight. It just wouldn't have been the same #resiliencechat without you!

In reply to @MissShuganah

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Absolutely, If we want it to be meaningful we have to deliver it with meaning and authenticity. #resiliencechat

In reply to @arron_degracia

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A1 I taught Freshman Comp in the '80s. Never talked about current events back then. I think it's really necessary now. #resiliencechat

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:17 PM EDT

It's all good Debbie,@MissShuganah #resiliencechat

Was on my mind, but Kid O is still requesting I finish filling her hollow legs. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:17 PM EDT

I remember talking to a 2nd gdr & she told me her biggest worry was how she was going to pay a mortgage when she grows up! #resiliencechat

Wes73057488 Aug 28 @ 10:18 PM EDT

In my observations, I've noticed kids ecstatic... sometimes sad...during the last election! #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:19 PM EDT

The one thing that seems to be constant is that Ss are reacting to the news. #resiliencechat

In reply to @Wes73057488

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2 I have tried to talk to Kid Q about what is going on in Trumplandia. Both girls know we are Jewish. We could be next. #resiliencechat

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:19 PM EDT

It's almost like a pall of angst is being felt across our educational settings - so important for us to rise above it! #resiliencechat

In reply to @EdNavigation

EdNavigation Aug 28 @ 10:20 PM EDT

Goodness...so young? Too much pressure and they know too much in areas that undermine their childhood, IMHO. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:20 PM EDT

For sure! We all need to tap into our capacity for resilience and support each other's resilience. #resiliencechat

In reply to @ResiliencyGuy, @EdNavigation

Wes73057488 Aug 28 @ 10:20 PM EDT

Meant to include this: Middle-Grades. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

EdNavigation Aug 28 @ 10:21 PM EDT

Agree Rob. And it's having an impact on all ages/grades which intensifies their own struggles of simply growing up. #resiliencechat

In reply to @ResiliencyGuy

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A2 So much going on at once. Overwhelming even for grown ups. Hard to imagine how kids can absorb even a fraction of it. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:21 PM EDT

As adults we need to be aware of what we say when around kids. (How else would an 8 yr old hear about mortgages?!?!) #resiliencechat

In reply to @EdNavigation

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:21 PM EDT

So true!! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Speaking of responding to news...#resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Q3: How have you responded to the news and current events? How have your students responded? #resiliencechat

EdNavigation Aug 28 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Right you are. Yet I think we/adults feel under assault constantly by the news and what's happening that we forget. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

Wes73057488 Aug 28 @ 10:23 PM EDT

Agreed! Children will be a part of the adult world soon enough....let them be little while they are. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge, @EdNavigation

arron_degracia Aug 28 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A2:I find that students are more aware of world & national news versus local-county-state. #power of #big #media #influence #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Q2: How have you witnessed news of the world (and even what may be going on in your backyards) being received by students? #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:23 PM EDT

...and sometimes the news can be so crazy and unbelievable that it is difficult to control our emotions. #resiliencechat

In reply to @EdNavigation

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:24 PM EDT

#resiliencechat Q3 - Share your responses

Q4: How are the concepts of resilience and news associated? #resiliencechat

arron_degracia Aug 28 @ 10:26 PM EDT

In @FairfieldSuisun we all come together & use #twitter to spread #love #positivity #story that takes place daily! #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:24 PM EDT

Yes, I agree. #resiliencechat

Thoughts? How have you seen your students, teachers react? #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:26 PM EDT

Q4: How are the concepts of resilience and news associated? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A4 I've got to keep reminding myself that as bad as it gets,this is not Nazi Germany or Eastern Europe my grandparents left. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:29 PM EDT

Resilience is also a topic in the news...as it currently is with the situation in Texas with Harvey. #resiliencechat

Wes73057488 Aug 28 @ 10:29 PM EDT

You have to be resilient to be able to handle the events on the news. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:30 PM EDT

Perspective can be really helpful in terms of tapping into our resilience. #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:30 PM EDT

Absolutely! #resiliencechat

In reply to @Wes73057488

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:30 PM EDT

A4 It is heartening to see Auschwitz survivors talking about #Charlottesviille and how we will prevail. They're protesting. #resiliencechat

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:30 PM EDT

#Resiliencechat Sometimes you need to tell your story! #Vimeo https://t.co/X0G5pk5U2r

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:31 PM EDT

Thanks, Rob. #resiliencechat

In reply to @ResiliencyGuy

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:32 PM EDT

Absolutely. Trying to maintain mine. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A4 Been thinking so much about my grandparents. They wouldn't want me to run away. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:33 PM EDT

Q5: What type of news do you find is most difficult/disturbing for your students to address or hear? #resiliencechat

EdNavigation Aug 28 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A4: We're tested in terms of resilience with the continuous onslaught of news & crises facing us. It's not easy. #resiliencechat

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A4 #Resiliencechat #Media and #News can help to #empower and #teach, & can adversely affect many due to increased #anxieties

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:34 PM EDT

Q5: What type of news do you find is most difficult/disturbing for your students to address or hear? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:35 PM EDT

A4 My paternal grandma probably experienced pogroms.Perhaps the other grandparents did, too. She was in the middle of this. #resiliencechat

EdNavigation Aug 28 @ 10:35 PM EDT

A5: Because students have 24/7 access to information, it means we must be more vigilant and aware of their emotions. #resiliencechat

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:35 PM EDT

A5 #Resiliencechat I think news that contradicts the lessons of #kindness #conversation and #love place dissonance in a child's mind.

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:36 PM EDT

Hard to imagine...#resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:36 PM EDT

A5 For me it's the news about immigrant and Muslim bans. #resiliencechat

Wes73057488 Aug 28 @ 10:36 PM EDT

Animal abuse (a bust happened today in my hometown), and conflict/attacks in other countries. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:37 PM EDT

This is a really good point. The constant barrage and overflow of information can make it difficult to "turn off" #resiliencechat

In reply to @EdNavigation

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:37 PM EDT

That was just a hundred years ago, too. Fairly recent history. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

EdNavigation Aug 28 @ 10:39 PM EDT

Why taking a TV/social media break is so important...for us/adults & children too. It can become far too easy to overload. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:39 PM EDT

A5 My maternal grandma had to hide from German soldiers during WWI. She was the last to leave. Her father starved to death. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:40 PM EDT

YES. Check this out about how some students reacted to the news... https://t.co/mEv1RzzHFk #resiliencechat

In reply to @ResiliencyGuy

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:40 PM EDT

Yes, Ss are very compassionate and interested in news affecting animals. #resiliencechat

In reply to @Wes73057488

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:40 PM EDT

My grandma never forgave herself for leaving her father behind, but she couldn't get him to go. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:41 PM EDT

What a story to tell! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

arron_degracia Aug 28 @ 10:42 PM EDT

A5: Senseless violence especially women and children, always brings out #strong emotions #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:33 PM EDT

Q5: What type of news do you find is most difficult/disturbing for your students to address or hear? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:42 PM EDT

If my grandma would have stayed in Lithuania, she would have been shot like my grandpa's sister. And I wouldn't exist. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:42 PM EDT

Yeah. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:43 PM EDT

What an incredible decision your Grandma was faced with. ...and just think about HER resilience!!! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:44 PM EDT

Q6: How do you support the resilience of your students as they navigate difficult news and current events? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:46 PM EDT

She was pretty young, too. Only 18, I think. She went Lithuania to Holland, I think, to Canada and to East Texas. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

EdNavigation Aug 28 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A6: Listen. Keep lines of communication open. Focus on their safety. And allow them to share what's on their minds. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

Wes73057488 Aug 28 @ 10:47 PM EDT

I hope to be able to help them learn how to have a thicker skin, and if they react to news, do it productively! #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:47 PM EDT

Wow! Makes me think of what I was doing at 18 and it was far from having to make those type of life decisions! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A6 I have told ppl at rallies, if I can survive cancer, I can survive Trump. And I think that helps some of the youngsters. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:48 PM EDT

I was going to say a similar thing about having students think about news as a "call to action" #resiliencechat

In reply to @Wes73057488

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:48 PM EDT

Me, too. I cannot imagine. Siblings sent for her, but still... #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A6 #resiliencechat So important to #empower them and build their #resilience skills so they can discern what matters to them. (A)

saratruebridge - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:49 PM EDT

Again, perspective is an impt thing to help support resilience yet we want to make sure we validate regardless of experience #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A6 #resiliencechat - When they build their skills, they can use #perspective to understand, and not just be upset or angry. (B)

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Very important point. I tend to downplay my experiences compared to people to have had to deal with poverty, etc. #resiliencechat

Be more aware that students are watching the news and sometimes absorbing parents' opinions on issues. Even though (1/2)....#resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

MissShuganah Aug 28 @ 10:54 PM EDT

A7 Do my best to move forward. #resiliencechat
