A1: We often think of grave instances; yet, trauma has a spectrum of so many life scenarios. #memspachat

donistamour Sep 14 @ 8:07 PM EDT

#MEMSPAchat

HarvestLearning Sep 14 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Any number of things. Incarcerated P, Anxiety, Depression, Divorce, etc... #MEMSPAchat

donistamour Sep 14 @ 8:07 PM EDT

#MEMSPAchat

kobrohl Sep 14 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A) Anything that had a negative effect on the s life and can surface at any moment #MEMSPAchat

JoshMeersma Sep 14 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: how can we build a relationship fast and get this student to feel like our building is a safe space & we are safe ppl. #memspachat

AllysonApsey Sep 14 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: I think of students who have gone through more than many of us could ever imagine going through. And they are only five. #MEMSPAchat

KlissClaire Sep 14 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A:1 That is not enough information. I have so many trauma students- It is helpful to hear the story #MEMSPAchat

davidsimpson512 - Moderator Sep 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: I think of a student who has something going on (not for us to define)…they can’t possibly think about learning or behavior. #MEMSPAchat

mitchcenter Sep 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

1) we often think of the externalizing behaviors when we think about trauma in school. So much we can't "see." #MEMSPAchat

Jpkatona Sep 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Communication with the parents, social work, relationships, transition plans to start their day. #MEMSPAchat

mattseverin Sep 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Hi @donistamour. Sorry I am going to miss tonight's chat. We are wrapping up teacher interviews tonight. Have a great one! #MEMSPAchat

Syndee_Sue Sep 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: I think that I need to stop what I am doing to listen and listen deep. #MEMSPAchat

SalineMiddleAP Sep 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: The trauma is something that is negatively impacting the Ss life & we need to immediately be sensitive to the trauma #MEMSPAchat

HarvestLearning Sep 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Important to listen to their story. We don't know what we don't know. #MEMSPAchat

In reply to @KlissClaire

DreaWeiner Sep 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Q2 coming in 1 min... #MEMSPAchat

arinabokas Sep 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Any child whose past experinces affected his/her social and emotional or physical wellbeing with consequences for learning A1 #memspachat

JWSwegles Sep 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Such an important topic that I hate to be missing, but moving this weekend means packing wins out. #MEMSPAchat

mitchcenter Sep 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1) I also think of how ill-equipped so many of us are. Usually the same one or two people are called on to help. #memspachat

AllysonApsey Sep 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1b: SS who affected by trauma often communicate through their behavior. Qhat they are thinking/feeling is often misinterpreted. #MEMSPAchat

arinabokas Sep 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

it is a communication of a need for sure. #MEMSPAChat

Q2: What do you know about Social Emotional Learning? #MEMSPAchat

HarvestLearning Sep 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Everyone in our schools need to be responsive to trauma. We must do more. #MEMSPAchat

In reply to @mitchcenter

AllysonApsey Sep 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Makes many of the probs we face look so minor. They are stronger than we are! #MEMSPAchat

In reply to @mitchcenter

Joe_Sanfelippo Sep 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: Unrecognizable if we don't know the student. Taking time to make connections early and often is essential. #memspachat

RickJetter Sep 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

And everyone handles everything differently. We define what severe is, internally. #memspachat

DreaWeiner Sep 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT
A1: Everything from depression to a death in family/friend circle. #MEMSPAchat
- donistamour Sep 14 @ 8:07 PM EDT
  
  #MEMSPAchat

mitchcenter Sep 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1) We need to build strong containers (community circles, strong relationships) be supportive when truly needed. #memspachat

SalineMiddleAP Sep 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

We need to continue to educate ourselves so we have a vast tool kit for our Ss #MEMSPAchat

AllysonApsey Sep 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1b: SS who affected by trauma often communicate through their behavior. What they are thinking/feeling is often misinterpreted. #MEMSPAchat

arinabokas Sep 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Any misbehavior is usually a cry for love. We just need to realize this. #Memspachat

A2: This a center of our work this year. As a staff we are learning together how to better address SEL for Ss & staff. #MEMSPAchat

donistamour Sep 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2: What do you know about Social Emotional Learning? #MEMSPAchat

DrBody4Life Sep 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: I think of a student who deals with a reality or circumstance we are unaware of and moved to support as a result. #memspachat

RickJetter Sep 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: That even though some think it's invisible or voodoo, it can be explicitly taught. Strategies, scenarios, stories. #memspachat

donistamour Sep 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2: What do you know about Social Emotional Learning? #MEMSPAchat

AllysonApsey Sep 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: I know that it is the most important learning our Ss will do. SEL leads to success in life way more than Algebra 2 skills #MEMSPAchat

donistamour Sep 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2: What do you know about Social Emotional Learning? #MEMSPAchat

ForestPrincipal Sep 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

kobrohl Sep 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A) Those who need love the most show it in the most unloving ways...s use flight, fight, or freeze (1st line - not my quote) #MEMSPAchat

Jpkatona Sep 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: We started SEL groups this year with our lower El students in need...It's been a trend in our school lately. #MEMSPAchat

TLiMPrincipal Sep 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1 Yrs back maybe a child without hope. Now - people surrounding a child w/ love.#alwayslearning #Memspachat

DrBody4Life Sep 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: To me SEL is children and adults working through emotions together to ensure/model how to deal with life's challenges. #memspachat

mitchcenter Sep 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2) We need to break SEL down and demystify. SEL is Morning circles, greeting kids, asking them how they are, observing, etc. #MEMSPAchat

kobrohl Sep 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

There's the real quote :-)! #MEMSPAchat

In reply to @HarvestLearning, @arinabokas

Syndee_Sue Sep 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2:SEL is about teaching strategies that help Ss with Self Social &Emotional Awareness some think warm & fuzzy I think necessary #MEMSPAchat

GregJWolcott Sep 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: SEL is learning about "ME",so I can work as a "WE" & become success in a world of "US" #MEMSPAchat

Joe_Sanfelippo Sep 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: I think we try to integrate S/E learning into what we already do & that doesn't help. Need to develop w/ more intentionality #MEMSPAchat

arinabokas Sep 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

SEL is the foundation of a productive well-rounded individual. The more curriculum intersects it the better learning is. A2 #memspachat
