A5: Give them choices and discuss what positive choices can accomplish. #gfedchat

A5: Welcome mistakes and treat a mistake as a learning opportunity rather than a punitive experience. It's ok to make a mistake #gfedchat

Mr_Hoheisel Sep 25 @ 10:21 PM EDT

My own kids get it. One of them said, "He's not naughty, he just needs help making good choices." We can learn from a 5 year old. #gfedchat

AmyAmykruger2 Sep 25 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A6: #gfedchat Both academic and behavioral skills must be taught.

MsBlakeman Sep 25 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A5: I think it should be approached the same. You teach to a Ss reading/math level, we should also teach to Ss emotional level #gfedchat

MrsH_511 Sep 25 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A6-We should be teaching the whole child. Ss need help with social emotional & academics. #gfedchat

TheOstgarden Sep 25 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A6: The lagging skills have to be approached before the other can be addressed, I see the same when dealing with NGSS expectations #gfedchat

rlord050 Sep 25 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A6: We're supposed to be helping Ss become lifelong learners... that isn't just stuff you get out of a book. We have to hit it all #gfedchat

BetseyMcIntyre Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A6: I think our problem is that we haven't always approached it the same way but we should #gfedchat

Johnson5Century Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A5 - Be there to encourage, support, and guide their thinking to help them solve the problem the best way he/she can. #gfedchat

kalamarie03 Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A6: Just as we need to meet Ss where they are academically, we need to meet them where they are emotionally as well and teach both #gfedchat

joelschleicher - Moderator Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A6: All lagging skills need attention and time. Important to always keep in mind the whole child, not just academics. #gfedchat

kfitzgeraldSLP Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A6: We often assume strong foundational skills that may not be there. Without those, hard to build academic skills #gfedchat

thorvilson Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A6: Both need two things...time and support. #gfedchat

KariMelland Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A6 Teach Ss the appropriate words & actions in situations to build lagging skill set. Model it, practice it. Give a 2nd chance. #gfedchat

MrsFreund1 Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A6: Should be treated just as a lagging academic skill, we educators now need tools to work to get these Ss skills needed #gfedchat

kristino720 Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A6: We approach behaviors very differently than academic struggles, unfortunately. We need to approach them in the same way. #gfedchat

mrs_moch Sep 25 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A6: Honestly, I feel more qualified in assisting with lagging English Lang. Arts skills than behavioral/social skills... #gfedchat

What good is it to know anything about WWII or Shakespeare if you can't function well in society? #gfedchat

MrsThompson5th Sep 25 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A6: Just like students need practice with multiplying students need practice with transitioning, not blurting, working in a group #gfedchat

ahovey12 Sep 25 @ 10:24 PM EDT

Ss see teachers as much/more than anyone. HoF teacher/my mentor Annella Winger - "some days I teach music, some days I teach life" #gfedchat

MsHellyersClass Sep 25 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A6: #gfedchat both emotional and academic skills should be taught and given opportunity to practice/grow

buchhop25 Sep 25 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A6: Both are skills that need to be taught. Ss academics won't catch up if the social/emotional is lagging. They work together #gfedchat

atunseth Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A6: Both! Time needs to be set aside for academics and behavioral #gfedchat

BuchhopTeach Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

That is a very real struggle that many teachers are facing! #gfedchat

In reply to @mrs_moch

TylerPiper4 Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A6- if its academic we take the time to try and catch up their skills. if its behavioral, its harder to look at the skills instead #gfedchat

BrandvoldsClass Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A6:Often the emotional skills need to be taught 1st in order for the student2be in the right state to pick up on the academic part #gfedchat

caweippert Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A6: Behavioral skills can and should be taught. We want Ss to be functioning adults, not just have academic skills. #gfedchat

shyanneslp Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A6: All skills need to be addressed and taught #gfedchat

MThompsonHS Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A6 - both need to be addressed. Exactly why we focus on social/emotional development in Head Start #gfedchat

GFPSCappon Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A6: Both skill sets need to be developed for individuals to be the best version of themselves. Growth mindset #gfedchat #empathyfirstGFPS

AbbyGoldenstein Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A5: Praise and say "thank you for..." when they are doing what is expected. #gfedchat #empathyfirstGFPS

Mr_Hoheisel Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A6:We're moving in the right direction by putting emphasis on the whole child. We can't teach if they're not prepared emotionally. #gfedchat

CassieBaasch Sep 25 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A6: these skills are the same, they affect how Ss function with people at school and in life. They sometimes join. #gfedchat

JFlaagan Sep 25 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A skill is a skill is a skill...a lack of skills regarding behavior gets a "bad rap" because it is more noticeable and disruptive. #gfedchat

emiliahodgson Sep 25 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A6: every teacher I've ever met has taught their students WAY more than just what's in the book. You're amazing, thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼 #gfedchat

kaialunde Sep 25 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A6: When we think of a S lacking proficiency in a standard, it just makes me think of the phrase "not yet..." or a lagging skill #gfedchat

JenStarcevic Sep 25 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A6: I've seen many buildings addressing these lagging emotional skills in social skills groups, sm group lunches, etc. great ideas!#gfedchat

joelschleicher - Moderator Sep 25 @ 10:27 PM EDT

Agreed - Emotions are the gatekeeper to a student's success. #gfedchat

A6 should be similar. behavior as a lagging skill doesn't take away accountability; it gives them something to be accountable for. #gfedchat

Morning meeting is another great way to do this! #gfedchat

A6: lots of supports in place to assist Ss w lagging academic skills - do we have same supports available for lagging behaviors? #gfedchat

CaelyK Sep 25 @ 10:28 PM EDT

A6: Lagging skills can often relate to one another. Lagging skills in social-emotional can affect skills in academics. #gfedchat

JenNeil12 Sep 25 @ 10:28 PM EDT

A6: Both need to taught. Ss need a balance of both skills to move forward effectively/successfully. #gfedchat

MrRedlin Sep 25 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A6: Both can affect one another. A lagging emotional/behavior skill may affect an academic skill and vice versa #gfedchat

Johnson5Century Sep 25 @ 10:29 PM EDT

Honestly, when Ss are lagging social/behavior skills, I think that's MORE important than academics. Am I going to get in trouble? #gfedchat
