Another wonderful resource from @BeaconHouseTeam with guidance for schools on how to move away from the behavioural approach and towards relational responses.
Feeling inspired & motivated by the conversations & learning which students are engaging in this week around #SafeSpaces and #BraveSpaces. What an amazing group of students @StKateriHCDSB. The learning continues tomorrow! ๐

ALT Quote card that reads, "What happened to me that day in school was not a type of violence involving physical harm, but rather a type of emotional destruction legitimized as teaching." from Stephanie P. Jones. The words are overlaid atop the image of three students holding cotton at their desk. In the center, a Black student looks at the cotton with her head down, visibly upset.
One of my favs shared this blog and I just had to pass this along. We will be processing so much info as a result of being able to see someoneโs whole face! Feeling overwhelmed may be the byproduct. Shared this with our students in #AltEd bc they are becoming brain experts!
The news from Eastern Europe can be a lot to process. This resource offers some ways to help students during challenging world events. Lend your calm, listen and validate student feelings, and remember to take care of yourself. smho-smso.ca/blog/online-resโฆ
