    Thats an important POV I wonder how many times our students are pushed to get passed the processing of “life” because time & schedule dictate pace… As a teacher when do we take the time to process? #dtk12chat

  • ericjuli Feb 14 @ 9:28 PM EST
    There are no right answers to handling these tragedies at school-no rulebooks (I’ve checked) & sadly I’m as much of an expert as anyone (not a badge of honor)-the empathy we value so much in #dtk12chat is an important starting place
  • scitechyEDU - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A.5 I think of you @ericjuli what was Day 2 & Day 3 like since the shooting? Is today any different? #dtk12chat Is there a B4 A Now After A feeling
  • LSpencerEdD Feb 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

    A0: I've had training in threat assessment and how to spot behaviors that might need a referral. I've had to use those skills more than once. At one time we didn't have a procedure and well, let's just say I had to deal with a really dicey situation 2/ #dtk12chat
    In reply to @scitechyEDU, @ericjuli
  • TheRealJamCam - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A5 In general I’m not sure time for empathy is a focal point or taking time to allow processing. School are bombarded with standards that need to be covered or test that need to be taken. Or the question of how does this get me in college #dtk12chat
  • michgutierrez Feb 14 @ 9:30 PM EST

  • ericjuli Feb 14 @ 9:31 PM EST
    Day 2&3 had to be regular school with support for individuals as needed. Still grief, &anger-I spent time today stopping vengeful behavior-what’s saddest in my environment is that everyone has lost so many to violence-so it becomes normalized & desensitized #dtk12chat

    In reply to @ericjuli
  • michgutierrez Feb 14 @ 9:33 PM EST
    All I keep asking is how did we get here? I don't mean the details of this particular shooting. How did we become a society that allows children to feel so hopeless that a gun seems to be the only answer? and How do we fix it? #dtk12chat

  • ericjuli Feb 14 @ 9:34 PM EST
    We’ll never do that at my school. Teachers are for learning. It’s my job to protect everyone from a need to assess threats. But in the inner city-we don’t need to worry about threat assessments nearly as much as other communities #dtk12chat

  • LSpencerEdD Feb 14 @ 9:35 PM EST

    Q1 #designthinking is a process/framework, a methodology, & a set of mindsets ALL centered around Empathy + People How can this understanding be utilized in moments like today or can it? #dtk12chat

    I think we can use empathy building activities in times like this to help Ss process their emotions. But we have to be careful. Ppl respond so differently #dtk12chat
  • GHSTEAMchic Feb 14 @ 9:44 PM EST
    A1: Don't know, feels like a start might be having Ss share a time they felt lost, out of control or angry and what do they do in those situations? How do they get out of that hole? Can their idea help another? #dtk12chat

    I believe teachers (& students) would benefit with some form of training I would presume to put the power of full responsibility on a Ts shoulder yet awareness might be a way to see in the sea of students #dtk12chat

    I would like to see #designthinking to develop an ongoing culture of kindness and genuine inclusion. The one-day anti-bullying programs probably do more to isolate people rather than develop the supports needed to help each other accept diversity #dtk12chat

    The world is too stressful to process on our own. We all need someone to talk too. Therapists, teachers, friends, partners anyone who will listen w/empathy, not judgment. We need more listeners in our world. #dtk12chat

      I feel like this question leads us right back to #DesignThinking - In my experience, it empowers students to take control of their world and make a difference. We need time to cry and process, but when we are left with a ? we might be able to begin talking about empowerment.

    A1 I think it starts before moments like this. Working to instill Empathy into our daily practice and behaviors. This helps us have a Empathy foundation that hopefully helps us deal with tragedy when or if it happens #dtk12chat

    Kids know who is hurting. Strong Relationships with kids determine whether or not they tell an adult who is in trouble #dtk12chat

    I saw this tweet last night abt asking Ts to write now all that was on their plate… I believe this exercise would be powerful for Ts & Ss & Admins bc there are too many assumptions and fill in the blank mentalities & Task Masters #dtk12chat More time on Maintenance understanding

    And we need to get rid of the stigma attached to seeing therapists. Maybe that’s a DT challenge. #dtk12chat

    exactly. So how might we design a system where adults can realistically connect and sustain ongoing conversations that build relationships with students? Imagine, one 10 minute conversation with each student per week but logistically is that feasible? #dtk12chat

    Here was the tweet about the Paper Plate #dtk12chat
    • j_hoffman22 Feb 13 @ 8:21 PM EST
      A2: listening. Last week I stole and idea from @Joe_Sanfelippo - I asked a group of overwhelmed Ts to share everything that was on their plate by writing it on paper plates. Now I can look through and see what I can help take off their plates. #Msaachat #leadlap
  • ericjuli Feb 14 @ 9:54 PM EST
    It can’t be quantified like that. When students need to talk or I’m trying to build relationships, there are no time limits or saying I need to do something else. It’s just me and the kid(s) until it’s not. Without strong relationships, I’m a failure in this work #dtk12chat

  • LSpencerEdD Feb 14 @ 9:54 PM EST
    Agreed. And we can’t always lean on family/friends. It’s exhausting for them, too. When schools talk mindfulness and SEL, it should be for ALL, not just students #dtk12chat

    And to be clear, it can’t be that you want to teach any kids. It has to be our kids. Because our kids can’t have just anyone teaching them. #dtk12chat
