Welcome . What's on your mind
-
-
Stephen in pickering, ONT. Can't wait!
-
throw out your takeaways from what you watched

A1. When I had Ss whose parents passed away, normally I got the team to rally around the player. We also went to funeral together
-
Also hello... mom, former teacher and athletic coach, current DMM at edtech nonprofit. Excited for my 1st
-
A1: Wow! Be open and honest. Don't "suger coat" it but use discretion.
-
maybe asking S about personal experience(eg. death of a pet) let them express their thoughts about death
-
more than you know. It's hard for kids to deal with and it's great to give them opps to support others.
-
A1: group discussions/exercises could be used to provide support and pool collective will power!
-
A1 I think Miller addresses this when he makes the distinction between "dying" and "death itself"
-
A1: Start with students' experiences or something familiar. Read alouds. Also, don't use euphemisms - they can be misunderstood!
-
A1: it's a topic that should be talked about open and honestly and not something that we should ignore
-
Great point expand on your take regarding discussions in the classroom
-
-
A1: Death is a sensitive topic, it should be talked openly and at the level of learners.
-
the idea that death actually brings more meaning and significance to life is so powerful - we take so much for granted
-
agreed on the levels of those in the room. Any examples
-
Love this... https://t.co/Vjvd9fO62x
-
-
the idea that death actually brings more meaning and significance to life is so powerful - we take so much for granted
-
Totally agree with the level of the learners comment, good point! https://t.co/segOyNmUNx
-
-
A1: Death is a sensitive topic, it should be talked openly and at the level of learners.
-
Q2 coming up in a moment!
-
-
A1. Death should be discussed in the context of life and life after death. It is not the end, but beginning.
-
A1: Death's part of life. Addressed, gives Ss insight into concepts: human nature, closure, time, dignity & experience
-
have you every had to have or engaged in such conversations in the classroom?
-
-
-
A1 it shouldnt be somthing swept under the rug but talked about openly like how Miller talked with frank about his losses
-
TED_ED: Q2 coming up in a moment!
-
-
-
A2 both are things you have to live with.
-
but maybe we should discuss ways to change our perspective or to make the most of the situations we are dealt
-
A2. Being mindful. Being thankful. Being patient. Teaching children that life is a process not a product.
-
just do what you wanna do,what your heart tells you to do!
-
-
A2: I try to be honest with others, more importantly with myself. Be open and don't hold back.
-
A2. Regret is inevitable. It's part of growth. So embracing regrets is healthier than attempting to never have any
-
A2: Living without regret is easy. We just need to realize that everything happens for a reason and learn from our mistakes.
-
A1. We read The Giver by and compared the "release ceremony" to celebrate the end of life to our own traditions
-
A2 another way of looking at is to view it is regrets are not failures, rather they are lessons learned
-
A2: To lessen a life of number of regrets, I would say is to accept that everything is a life experience.
-
A2: practice . Think how your actions will affect others before you act. Be open!
-
A2 another way to look at it is that regret doesn't mean failure. We should view them as lessons learned
-
A1: Begin with the beauty of the present moment. To live life knowing that you lived it fully makes it easier to talk about death
-
YES!!! https://t.co/CRl586v88R
-
-
A2. Regret is inevitable. It's part of growth. So embracing regrets is healthier than attempting to never have any
-
-
something to check out. Thank you for sharing
-
A2. Embrace failure as a way to grow. Look at the world from 10,000 feet in the air.
-
A2. Let yourself be vulnerable, be open to failure, celebrate failure, and embrace challenges
-
https://t.co/EsQkar73jO
-
-
let S talk, share thoughts, experiences...sympathise, empathise but be open & honest. Allow them to be emotional & support
-
A2 live with and move on from
-
. talks a lot about how vulnerability improves QOL. https://t.co/W1YRKqYyXW
-
-
A2. Let yourself be vulnerable, be open to failure, celebrate failure, and embrace challenges
-
listening and showing compassion is key
-
A2: Live intentionally. Fewer opportunities for regret when you are doing more than floating through life.
-
A2: Regrets are the result of living our lives the way we wouldn't choose to do it. Lessen regrets by living YOUR life
-
A2 by not focusing on the regrets and instead looking for ways to experience life that will show you the beauty of the world
-
-
A2 Depends on how you define regret. Can you say you defended your principles to yourself and for your students each day?
-
loving your writing on the tonight
-
solid point. How do we define our regrets?
-
A1: It is hard to teach Latin w/o discussing death... war, disease, catastrophe. All long ago, so maybe feels safer.
-
A2 Keep busy and do what you love. Research says, at the end, we regret the things we didn't do much more than the things we did.
-
-
-
could categorise as the doing and the not doing
-
-
-
-
A3 pain of discipline is always less than the pain of regret.
-
Any time you are faced with adversity and you whisper to yourself, "I should have...but didn't."
-
A2: Know yourself. Better yourself. Share of yourself. Let go of self-pity.
-
A3: Discipline can come by repeatedly asking ourselves what we really need/want in life. Then refocus work for it.
-
A3 think of the efforts you put into each.
-
A1 know where your Ss are; express empathy; be open & honest; use words appropriate for their age level https://t.co/MlReM5h75M
-
take pride in what we do; live life in a celebration and work hard to always better ourselves;self-discipline/meditate
-
A3: The only way to practice disapine is think about it, and look at pros and cons.
-
A3 A) When pain of regret is a function of shame, acceptance helps. B) Trying to change past is futile. Redirect energy.
-
A3: Discipline is hard to teach, desire and focus can lead you there though.
-
A3 I think that discipline allows us to cope with pain & persevere rather than avoid it...
-
what is the strength we use to redirect?
-
A3. Developing strong self-control and executive functioning skills is essential. Mindfulness and yoga all the way
-
-
A3. And investing in early education of course!
-
A3. Think of the results of discipline
-
-
-
A3: Living an ordered life but allowing room for life to happen.
-
Different for diff people. Not a huge fan of the term "strength." Tenacity works for me. Source of mine is purpose.
-
A3 on discipline: a sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
-
A3 Regret is the result of the lack of discipline. When we allow our passions to enslave us, we open the floodgates for regret.
-
-
cope with pain- yes. but to learn from it as well.
-
-
put that regret on a shelf and move away
-
The necessity for improvements in healthcare are apparent, at times individuals abandon their virtuous beliefs .
-
A3. Life will always deal us experiences that cause pain... it's inevitable. But it we have discipline & resolve we will survive
-
Expressing my own gratitude ... dude I'm back... glad to connect!
-
for some that is difficult
-
When I was "strong," I was really just wearing an I Am OK Mask to protect others & hide my reality, even from myself.
-
A3 discipline first must come from within; decide what do you hope to gain; how better can you utilize your energy
-
Not talking about death doesn't mean it's not there.Not embracing regrets doesn't help us avoid pain. Discipline yourself to live
-
-
We all need to experience some productive struggle to grow. The discipline is the grueling part of everyday life. But we need it
-
-
yes we can't disguise ourselves and be true to our Self. Must be authentic
-
-
A4: To teach students to focus on well-being, students need to know the other side of not focusing on ones well-being.
-
look at how to help others and and focus on their well-being; this brings great rewards
-
Regret is too heavy to put in a bag and carry everywhere
-
though because a lot of kids lack foresight. Need to tie well being in to something they care about at that moment.
-
A3 Discipline: a state where your mindset move others to be disciplined. It's not teachable; rather contagious
-
A3 Discipline: a state where your mindset move others to be disciplined. It's not teachable; rather contagious
-
"When one door closes...another will open". Build resilience and talk to mentors with experience
-
-
A3 set goals for yourself of what you want to do/who you want to be but discipline yourself so you're able to strive through real
-
A4. When I was a coach it was easy... as a parent I focus on healthy habits... gratitude. Patience with personal growth
-
-
TED_ED: Wrapping up Q3, on to Q4
-
-
A4 teaching our Ss about well-being comes from modeling it; show how to prioritize things & to include/make yourself a priority
-
A4 Model your own wellness for your students. Do they see you as a guide?
-
A4: Talking openly about our personal experiences and leading by example. Ss should trust and value educators.
-
A4 form the whole person. Body. Mind. Spirit.
-
A4: from a students perspective: Show us moderation, balanced lifestyle, & incorporate multiple areas of learning.
-
A4: as leaders/adults we have to teach by example. Our own life balance will be modeled by the youth we serve
-
A4: talking about and as proactive instead of just solutions to a problem.
-
Exactly! We need to be formed in all areas.
-
A4 to teach we first need to understand our own then we can distribute our knowledge to our Ss
-
A4: well-being is being well. Know how to be, and do it well. Focus on that & life happens in a wonderful way.
-
A4: Lead by example. When educators take care of themselves, they are able to give more to their students, who then follow suit.
-
A4 modeling its importance on a daily basis - Especially at the HS level. Also ensuring S's know mental well-being is critical 2
-
-
how do you model that practically?
