So happy to see you, Rebekah! Always a highlight :)
Hey! It’s Lee! Thanks for staying up with us on
Welcome Lee! Glad you're with us!
Exited for the topic! Recently wrote blog post for PBS on the topic-- near & dear to my heart!
A1 teaching SEL is every teachers responsibility and it's not only good for your students it's good for you too.
A1- Ss watch our actions & listen 2 our words. We owe it 2them 2b mindful of what that looks and sounds like and make it positive
it's so awesome. although my raffle prize isn't too shabby! :)
Hey Everyone! Eddie, Ed Tech Coord.
Always love your intro, Rebekah
Jamie Joyce Digital Learning Coach Orange County
Hey Joe- good to see ya here this evening :)
A1: I take it personally to teach Social & emotional skills to produce productive future citizen..just as important core content
Awesome! Do you have the link?
A1: Teaching SEL is critical for ALL learners. Ss need it, Ts need it, Admins need it.
A1: All Ss benefit from focus on social & emotional intelligence in the classroom - all classrooms :)
Yes its been a while! Mondays have been hectic lately!
Hey Eddie. Great to have you with us again
A1: We can all teach these things. It's part of fully educating the whole child. I bld these in daily lessons across curriculum.
Hi Jamie. Glad you’re with us again. Tonight’s topic is awesome with
A1:Everyone's responsibility to address SEL w/Ss. Learning hindered if we do not create safe space 1st https://t.co/EHVfh1aHAx
A1 Teaching SEL skills means teaching life skills: empathy, self-control, humility, confidence. It's why I teach. Not the content!
A1- I have found this positive interaction goes for our colleagues as well as Ss.
Agree! SEL & lifeskills cross curricular and cross grade level.
I was off my EdChat game last week. Good to be back at it!
glad we got to meet irl, and enjoy lunch together! gives reference in chats!
Great point Heather! No cost but HUGE payoff https://t.co/1R9QYDk8tH
Flexible seating and classroom environment are hot topics right now but SEL can change classroom environment and costs nothing ☺️
Agreed. If kids are stressed, they can't learn. So important to address the whole child.
Awesome to see you on, Heather!
A1: SEL skills are imperative for teachers to teach students especially low income students
Well said. Identify safety is hugely important is all things we do - for ALL learners
Seriously! Lunch was a highlight for me! :)
A1 b) And it's everyone's responsibility. We can have such greater impact when our efforts are united for Ss.
Seriously. New furniture, new arrangements mean nothing if there’s no SEL or identity safety in schools
Scott-- Instructional Tech Outreach. Los Angeles County Office of Ed. - Sorry I am late.
A1- our Ss are whole human beings- if we only focused on guiding their academic curriculum we would be doing a gr8 disservice
These skills are cross curricular and cross grade levels. Definitely important for life!
Missing again tonight! Gotta clean up after a dessert party at my house celebrating the Jewish new year. See ya next week!
any black and white cookies left over? :) and see ya next week!
A1 It is my responsibility as a caring adult in the school to model & teach these skills. DEFINITELY my responsibility as a parent
up next. We will gather and share awesomeness and collaborate and...
Job 1, create a safe environment for every student, until that happens meaningful collaboration and learning will not take place
A2 taught me that it doesn't take long to have a little fun, which connects learners. Play together, learn together!
Go for it.....To me it is just common sense or you shouldn't be a teacher
A2: Play & games that create connections help Ss to build the relationships necessary to feel safe to take risks & learn
A2: Brings other S strengths. More opportunity to shine other than core academics. Ss also like structure.
It definitely starts with awareness. Hopefully action follows awareness soon after
And our Ss need to see that SEL skills matter in all grades/content areas. We model, practice + support SEL skills
A2- I'v been reading a lot about meditation and mindful techniques in the classrm & I wish I had a regular Clsrm just to practice
Kyle, Las Vegas, learning strategist & technology coordinator, late joiner! was executing an amazing with my team
This image is from a book by Jensen. So many SEL's that need to be taught
It’s hugely important for admins to do this for Ts too. To foster safe environments for Ts’ SEL
I love that we have such caring teachers who really get the importance of this on this chat. https://t.co/2tvzGvCCoI
Agreed. If kids are stressed, they can't learn. So important to address the whole child.
I believe this is so true. The ppl we tend to be hardest on after ourselves is our colleagues.
Hi Kyle. Great to have you with us again
A2 Love the notion of making these elements *rituals* in our day. They have a place + shld prob be foundation of how we do school
A2: Games, projects, informal discussions, etc all help to know Ss. Learn from them then teach them better..Really reach them.
A2a: I think games & play are how primate learn, & more importantlyh bond. The staff that plays together, stays together.
Well said, Lisa. Play and Games are familiar to ALL learners. EDU needs to incorporate these more
Agree. Need admin to make that priority for health/ well-being of staff for sure.
A2 connections r key. games, mindfulness & culture go a huge way to jumpstart learning. W/ the right culture, some probs nvr start
So necessary, especially when they might not be learning this anywhere else
And I have found we make assumptions w/colleagues that we might not make with Ss or other contacts - it's kinda sad
Well said, Edward. Def important to provide those opportunities to practice lifeskills
A2b: Mindfulness - O.M.G. A must. taught me that isn't a realy reason to do as we have always done.
A2 WE like games and feeling connected and our students do too. These have a place in our classroom & in PD/staff meetings/lunch.
A2 I teach a mindfulness SEL lessons every day during our advisory period and it's been really wonderful
Agreed...I'm my hardest critic! Self reflections is valuable & necessary to be an effective educator
The modeling piece is so impt. All. Day. Long!
That made my day Susan! You rock https://t.co/9EchAeo71w
A2 taught me that it doesn't take long to have a little fun, which connects learners. Play together, learn together!
That made my day Susan! You rock https://t.co/J4ePQqxXqB
A2 taught me that it doesn't take long to have a little fun, which connects learners. Play together, learn together!
Sniff sniff. (FOMO again. Sorry...)
true. It was awkward when we first started, but so helpful for Ss to practice articulating their feelings & thoughts
Ah yes! Picture books & interactive read alouds def help promote awareness & action with SEL & Mindfulness
Not enough likes or agrees for this. Must remember not to ascribe our own narrative to interactions.
Wow that sounds amazing. Do you have a resource you use?
Yes!! P/T Confs coming up &Oct always a little rough-- trying 2decide how I can help lighten load, too
Yes! We all need to be courageous to have those hard conversations w top about values
that was my JAM!!! I most definitely have some recommendations for A4 :)
Reflection can be hard but it can help us grow tremendously if we are honest with ourselves
A2: I'm thinking games should play a part in our math classes. Learning w/o stress is possible! https://t.co/pXHbMtua6Q
Yes, I love this also, Rachel. Part of the design and groundwork that is established from Day #1 https://t.co/JegEml4aRm
A2 Love the notion of making these elements *rituals* in our day. They have a place + shld prob be foundation of how we do school
yep yep. And I'm bringing with me this time!
I was such a kid in classroom. Always had a puzzle out. Played all kinds of games w/ the kids, both w/ & w/o content
That’s always something for all coaches to keep in mind
A2: Connection rituals is a must in a classroom.
Reflection is the key to growth! https://t.co/5gCAcao6h4
Reflection can be hard but it can help us grow tremendously if we are honest with ourselves
I start many classes with a quiet meditation, kids get it's a break from internal and ext noise...stu's then less resistant
Killing me, Kozma. :)
Nah, you’re killing it tonight
That's always so appreciated by Ts.
That's why & are so popular!
I am lucky my admin supports and encourages the teaching of SEL
I took a T’s yard duty last week so she can finish an assessment. Great response
Our admin is moving to this but we are looking for some quality resources
That’s wonderful! Sounds like a great instructional leader.
you're too generous w those compliments friend...but I'll take em! thanks!!! Give a hug from me!!!
Yes, and I like to see it school-wide. So much more powerful for Ss when whole staff is *in*.
A3: It helps to have my "peeps" to help me vent, reflect, and then move forward.
Absolutely, we need to watch the gremlin in our head and gently put it in its place.
Love that. Other suggestions welcomed :) Starting my outreach this wk!
So true! https://t.co/v1uxe1XO7A
Yes, and I like to see it school-wide. So much more powerful for Ss when whole staff is *in*.
A3: When "the stuff" gets in the way of what matters.
Mine do too. has emphasis on *mindfulness* this year. Very impt!
So great, Joe. Little gestures go a long way.
She’s sitting next to me and says she wishes she could hug you. In fact, are there plans to get together next weekend
A3: Of course wanting to be effective is stressful. I have an awesome team, admin, Ts, and coaches to guide me through it!
A3: Sitting and chatting with kids, learning about them and with them
A3 Rocky from Templeton...Taking on 2 new preps. A 10 mile run worked for me, surfing does too.
Checking out early tonight . Thanks for an awesome half hour. I think I'll meditate b4 bed tonight.
A3 cont: most things that cause stress are things you can't control, worry about what you can control! https://t.co/aDLJWOMmXF
A4 tech not working throws me outta whack, esp. when it's a IT prob. The Apple Watch breathe app helps me slow down and de-stress
Always try to send follow up message after a demo, co-planning, co-teaching session w additional resource
A3- the biggest stress is that I am not making a positive enough difference, that I am not helping my colleagues and Ss enough
Yes! This is definitely one of my life mottos. Don’t stress about what you can’t control https://t.co/ftsBUOD3IX
A3 cont: most things that cause stress are things you can't control, worry about what you can control! https://t.co/aDLJWOMmXF
That’s wonderful. When an admin focuses on SEL, everyone benefits - Ss and Ts.
yes, Monday 10/10 friends who are the STEM Symposium will be heading to my neck of the woods...working on final plans.
A3- I contemplate daily if I am doing what I should be doing & if I am missing something Gr8 I could be doing
Exercise helps me processing the day and filter the noise from the day
A3: Grading. But there are tools. Still working on this area. Time management. Creating interactive, instant grading situations.
Took me years of therapy to get to the place where I can do this. Still need reminders
What time? During the STEM Symposium?
Would love that resource if you ever get a chance!
Took a dbl check on your profile ..I was like - how does this guy know what he's saying?..Lol
Yes! Nothing like that perfect Spotify Playlist and your favorite trail
Great thing everyone to learn. “We’ve always done it that way” are worst words in EDU
A3 Trying to do it all and not knowing what is MY job and what I should (try to) let others take on causes me stress.
We're our worst critics but we can only benefit if we take care of ourselves as well as others@Roni_Habib
A3: Impatience. Nothing is ever changed, improved, impacted fast enough. on what we've done is only real help for it
DM me and I'll send you a link to the page with all days of the week when the website is back up
Fully agree. It takes everyone to foster healthy school culture, focused on SEL. Ss, Ts, Admins, Ps … https://t.co/d1nmf3WnbD
It's paramount for healthy school culture.
Me too. I don't make enough time to exercise, even though I know it's what I need.
We have ours hanging in the TOSA Oasis ;)
I know! I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks!
If only we could apparate...
Grading has always been a thorn in my side! Uggh I know what they know/need to know- so I have to grade it lol
Even if it’s 15-20 minutes, at least its a start. Just something to get the blood going
I love seeing admin get involved in diff SEL activities–morning mtgs, , etc. Kids connect.
i so wish i could call email bankruptcy!
Ugh-- I have the same trouble!
ALOHA MOURA!!! any spell will do, really... :o)
Need to bow out early, grandparents want to see the grandkids on FaceTime! Thanks as always for the awesomeness, CU @
YES! I'm working on getting out in the mornings. Not easy for me, but day is expon better when I do!
Seriously. Sometimes I feel like I want to
yeah i need to do that as well.
A4- I reminded my students daily- several times, 2 take deep breaths and breathe and oh ya- breathe
A4: a mindfullness technique I learned...think it's called The Melt. Love it
Hee hee hee but that really is the best one.
Monday STEAM Lab visit 4-5pm, then tiki meetup!!!
A4- I would ask them what the absolute worst thing was that could happen that moment- then remind them anything less n we were ok!
Yes! I think all admins need to get up and move to videos
A3 Projects that see no end, glacial pace of edu change, endless to do list. I'm learning to disconnect more. Reduce screen time.
A4: Friendly posters, choice in seating. Open room. Music. Yes, music. Creative environment. Saw and need to add oils infuser.
A4:When Ss or I got stressed we'd drop everything & walk laps outside, take some time to breathe https://t.co/TEJbgDUyYj
I love seeing how creative Ts are in establishing positive spaces and love that they have support to do it
A4 I really need help in this area. Thankfully I have some great resources to go to!
Next step is being purposeful & realistic about what can/should be in the inner 2 circles
Staff check in for Admin R key. Let them know U care, not just a boss. Best ? I heard, "how can I help you get to where u want 2b"
A3 - 3 things that I do to help in morning are: Meditation, setting an intention, and greeting my students at the door mindfully.
Oh Karly. You’re the resource I go to
I haven't heard of this- could you elaborate - in 140 characters lol
Great emphasis on centering yourselves!
Well said. It can be hard to measure at times, which isn't always a help! Impt 2 remember to be kind to ourselves
so impt to remind ourselves that to do lists are inherently never ending and give ourselves permission to relax
A4: Removing the specter of grades allows students to exercise creativity w/o fear of failure.
Yep-- BIG music fan! Always had music in my classrm & now at my PDs
A4: In district, Ts are being trained in Restorative Practices. Mindful about including all students...
Yes. We can be too hard on ourselves, for sure.
A4: Capturing Kids Hearts has really transformed our teachers & the way they support sts via agreed upon social contract
That’s true. And love how Ts share their ideas w others
Oh yes-- working on that now :)
A3; I feel like I'm getting Therapy from like minded people ... gotta love the Twitters and
Music is helpful! https://t.co/vTGu7YAH0B
A4: Friendly posters, choice in seating. Open room. Music. Yes, music. Creative environment. Saw and need to add oils infuser.
Literally get grounded, breathe, push negative energy down til it melts out
Restorative Practices...wow that sounds awesome
I was lucky to have an early admin who helped me understand the circles
The open willingness to share is 1 of my fav things about these chats! Truly an a fantastic
I carry my Points speaker everywhere https://t.co/1RfkvwegiO
Yep-- BIG music fan! Always had music in my classrm & now at my PDs
A4 cont.: Also, even just shaking hands as kids walk in sets a good tone and sense of community and respect for one another
Our Tribe really does help us out =) https://t.co/anPrzBUN9i
A3; I feel like I'm getting Therapy from like minded people ... gotta love the Twitters and
A4 I started *every* day with a 20-min . Greeting>Sharing>Activity. Incred way 2 connect + have Ss shed stress.
A4: A good playlist, a few stretches. Read the room and give them what they need!
Wonderful words that show respect for individual’s level(s) & goals … https://t.co/VpDwaYhW54
Staff check in for Admin R key. Let them know U care, not just a boss. Best ? I heard, "how can I help you get to where u want 2b"
A4 I've noticed that just listening to Ss makes a big difference. Something so small can really be so big.
Me too. It was She taught me a lot.
We are lucky to have this option more often than not in CA!
A4: A focus on learning rather than grades! Learning is inherently more peaceful than "point getting".
Love it! I just read about how physically touching the ground has gr8 benefits- so much I mindfully did it ths wknd
That’s super true! Being a connected educator has truly changed so many lives
This is great. I had a "take a break" area. Not 'time out' but more a place to find calm + reset.
Admin doesn’t have account/can’t tag her, but still thankful for her
Yes! In the Coachella Valley it’s a good day when its not 100 degrees!
Ahhh.....yes! Learning, growing means so much more anyway https://t.co/8RZUXqpB2O
A4: A focus on learning rather than grades! Learning is inherently more peaceful than "point getting".
A4b if you don't know about The Grouchies...download the FREE iPad app. It's an AWESOME resource in partnership w the APA.
It's incredible. Could NOT do this job without all of you!
I think if all classes did this, school-wide, every day, Ts and Ss would see/feel the difference.
We have recently been trained on restorative practices. It has been a game changer.
So true! This is something I always tried to do!
This sounds awesome! Can you recommend a training for teachers/staff
I didn't do these nearly enough! Was so helpful when we did
A5: More time always needed on wellness. Always. Physical, emotional, mental. We have to check-in and support each other.
- at we're all about caring for the caregiver so we can model the behaviors we want for our kids. And our conference...
A5: I think there is movement, but much work to be done. Education is in search of balance. Healthly Mind= Effective Mind.
A5- p1 honestly I think a lot of people still look on mindful techniques as far outside of the box-it takes time away from lessons
I'd really love to come to a conference, I've heard great things about them from others.
- our conferences are off the hook amazing! If you can't make the next one, will you tweet about it? We want to build a movment
A5: YES! Sts need their basic needs met before deep learning can occur
Express positive welcomes to every class..give a smile get smile
A5 p2- the value in The whole person is still being slowly recognized. If we could move that forward every part will fall n2 place
A5cont: A HUGE & KEY next level is personalized SEL. Learners need diff things & diff SEL needs https://t.co/PXWHxNE1pW
A5: Absolutely! Spending time on SEL greatly impacts other areas. Amazing work on lately. Could alwa… https://t.co/ypWOo3nmd1
Has the oils in the infuser run up against and allergies or H&S regs?
of educators who care about prioritizing their students wellbeing and their own wellness. Without needing to justify it.
My 8th graders and I check in talk current events often.
A5a I think https://t.co/fIbCBDgWZy has only focused on scores, accountability and is barely starting to see wellness matters.
I was lucky that it was part of my school culture. EVERY class, every teacher (specialists joined too), every day.
The EQ Conference is fantastic! Should check it out! https://t.co/PoQjy1b2AK
- our conferences are off the hook amazing! If you can't make the next one, will you tweet about it? We want to build a movment
so good to hear! we have a group of Ts & staff attending.
My 1st admin said the biggest goal of 1st trimester is develop healthy, caring class environment
I say bring it to southern cali! We desperately need the positive in San Bernardino & surrounding areas
I am pretty sure can make it happen
Observed it in Alabama. No issues that I know of. Some of current Ss and families use oils.
A5 even in schools that value wellness, most stop at the PD. Need to allot TIME for actual practice for it to permeate culture
So true and so important!! https://t.co/ySGzlVH4gq
My 1st admin said the biggest goal of 1st trimester is develop healthy, caring class environment
A4c this is what I did w my students after reading a book called Bad Apple by Edward Hemmingway. Powerful… https://t.co/D1ltzBhog3
Ok Roni- Joe said you can do it and I trust him! :) all pressure :)
Currently I just apply to myself rather than infuse.
I use them too and it's not been a problem. Everyone loves it.
A6: Go home, put away coach hat, and become mom while burning pumpkin spice candles!
Thanks Rachel. It’s an open tab for me to read later. :)
A6- I smile & laugh & joke a lot. Even when I am not always happy. I also try 2 ask what I can do to help people daily
So true. And then we can't stop after the first 6 weeks. It's ongoing. Worth every second!
A6 reading, writing, keeping up with a 5yrold. Best way to keep up with wellness.
A6 I make sure I spend quality time w/ my son. He isn't going to be little forever. Time is precious. Don't want to waste it.
A6 Keep a Good News folder with positive emails from parents, colleagues, former ss to look back at when I need positive joojoo
This would be awesome. Our community needs a lot more positive ways to interact in a huge way
When you really listen they see you in a different way and a trust develops and they really share with you
A5: Most schools are reactive about Ss & Ts wellness. I'm proud to work in a district w/ a Family Resource Ctr
Yes, we want to teach and support SEL all year long https://t.co/5gXwsAAx3z
So true. And then we can't stop after the first 6 weeks. It's ongoing. Worth every second!
Where there is a need, work will be done
all year that book had traction in my room for helping Ss self-soothe, cope & redirect frustration.
Enjoy every single second & never feel guilty about it! You will nvr regret spending time with him over anything else@KarlyMoura
Q5:My classroom=OUR classroom:A safe place to learn as a "family," a place THEY can be themselves no matter what happened outside.
Well said, Heather and Phillip. Truly listen to the Ss. The want their voices to be heard
I have sleeping sown but man those healthy ones r hard
I have one of those and I have my induction teachers make one https://t.co/Ln6HdIuioF
A6 Keep a Good News folder with positive emails from parents, colleagues, former ss to look back at when I need positive joojoo
Happy the hear that. Makes me sad when good ideas get stuck in that sort of thing.
Awesome! Thanks for always sharing such wonderful resources, Rachel.
Sounds great Ann. Will check it out!
The next conference, all about Ss and Ts Wellness is in 2 weeks! Register below. U will love it https://t.co/zh38dKbqLx
The next conference, all about Ss and Ts Wellness is in 2 weeks! Register below. U will love it https://t.co/5QddkF45kl
A6...running....lots of running!
Sure thing! I love her podcasts. TY for ur great topics + in-depth Q/A w guest speakers. Excellent!
A7- I think of my dream school daily! It would incorporate meditation, daily mindful reminders & physical activity
A7 one thing would be mindful eating. I do a sit at lunch w the kids. I encourage you to join their lunch some time it's no good
A7: Tweeted this earlier. Personalized SEL is the next step. Each learner needs their own process https://t.co/Knz9maPAgo
Q6:Cherish everyday as a gift, listen to music really loud on my way to work, and plan my next foodie trip to a new restaurant!
A7- of course I need to move into an admin position for that to move forward- experience can't be replaced with just having a goal
I struggle w sleep, too. I'm a night owl. Trying to retrain my brain. (And have some willpower.)
Love your word choice - cherish.
https://t.co/U0eQVwMniB
Q6:Cherish everyday as a gift, listen to music really loud on my way to work, and plan my next foodie trip to a new restaurant!
