Running a minute late tonight, here is hoping that we get a few takers for #Resiliencechat Anyone out there tonight? Co-moderator Rob here!

Been a busy summer, and it's baseballs #homerun derby night, and we will carry on at #Resiliencechat Who is with us tonight?
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Jul 10 @ 10:03 PM EDT

@saratruebridge is out of the country, and we have had some serious heat in California, so I'm redhot for #Resiliencechat tonight!

Sure, I'm game. #resiliencechat

Tonight on #Resiliencechat I will pose some questions even so you can consider them during the week, even if you are not here tonight.

#Resiliencechat Topic: Planning for #Resilience - Shouldn't #resilience be part of every educational lesson? #Resiliencechat 7:00 PM

Is @ResiliencyGuy around tonight for #resiliencechat? Or are we off for a month?

Q1 #Resiliencechat Do you sometimes wonder how it is that we have so many activities & intervention that don’t seem to be in sync?
MissShuganah Jul 10 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Glad to see you @ResiliencyGuy #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 10 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Tidbit #2 made me think of plants and gardening. Why aren't they more actively included in education? #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 10 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Summer tends to be busy and not busy. Really fast this year. #resiliencechat

Can you clarify? You're talking about school efforts related to resilience or school in general? #resiliencechat
In reply to @ResiliencyGuy
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Jul 10 @ 10:10 PM EDT

#resiliencechat Been really thinking about this deeply as sometimes I wonder if all of our activities are making the difference kids need.
MissShuganah Jul 10 @ 10:12 PM EDT
I have wondered about this, too. We focus on reading, writing and arithmetic, but not coping skills and empathy, etc. #resiliencechat

#Resiliencechat First, I suppose, school in general, then #resilience as it seems to not be included so often in our designs.

A1: lack patience with interventions causes us to switch too quick, well intentioned but bad practice #Resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Jul 10 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#Resiliencechat Exactly, and, by design, though research tells us we should be including this, we still are often missing the boat!
In reply to @MissShuganah
MissShuganah Jul 10 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Perhaps they think only SpEd kids need this and why dividing btw SpEd and GenEd is not responsible. #resiliencechat

Why we need IEPs for all and should ditch Special Education in general. It would be doable. #resiliencechat

JeremyDBond Jul 10 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Maybe it's not embedded enough. Our middle schooler has health class, but like any subject, you can't entirely separate SEL. #resiliencechat

Q2 #Resiliencechat Research tells us that we should have consistency across our schools and ed systems, what do you think blocks this?
MissShuganah Jul 10 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2 Short answer: economics. #resiliencechat
agolem12 Jul 10 @ 10:17 PM EDT

Q2 time, mandates, wide spectrum of learners, lack of patience for the process #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 10 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2 This economic disparity means that kids in suburban areas tend to have an advantage over kids who go to school in cities #resiliencechat

A2 When I first arrived on Twitter in 2009, I started to talk about educational equality. Much needed. #resiliencechat

Info B: #Resiliencechat 5-more, move towards goals, nurture positive self-view, keep things in perspective, self-discovery, accept change
JeremyDBond Jul 10 @ 10:21 PM EDT
A2) Parochialism, competition, looking out for only our own kids. Thinking others having what you have is losing something. #resiliencechat

agolem12 Jul 10 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Nurturing a positive self view is so hard with a lot of middle school kids, but so worth the effort. #resiliencechat

It frustrates me to the point of no end!!!!!!! I tried to share resources last year and was completely ignored. #resiliencechat

Taking a lesson from the 10 tips: Q3 Which particular tip resonates with you as a #learner #Educator #person? #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Jul 10 @ 10:36 PM EDT

A3 Keeping things in perspective. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Jul 10 @ 10:38 PM EDT

For me I think I'm at the #Makeconnection tip. I want so bad for more Districts to go through a process of real self-review #resiliencechat

Q4 with resources being so limited, how can we best use what we have to target the needs of our students? #resiliencechat
Stella_Pollard Jul 10 @ 10:43 PM EDT

A4: By modeling whatever it is we want our Ss to do with the resources we have available, but still allowing them choice. #resiliencechat

A4 We need to be activists for our kids. See to it that states don't just dole out funds for education in wealthy areas. #resiliencechat

This summer many of our Extended School Year (ESY) programs were targeted at #neverbore events #resiliencechat #neverbefore had I seen ocean
MissShuganah Jul 10 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A4 Students will know that we care about them and their families if we fight for them. #resiliencechat

#resiliencechat #neverbefore had I gone to a college campus, made a robot, coded, been to a museum, became a mad scientist, etc.

Q5 How are you bringing new learning experiences, wild events, life changing lessons to your children, #neverbefores? #resiliencechat

All kids and adults should have these opportunities. My husband would love to teach coding if we could be connected. #resiliencechat
