We must teach and model emotional intelligence, from kindergarten through graduation...and beyond.
Kids need control of their emotions to help them access their full potential for their academics. #SEL#teachergoals
When we work w/ students who have experienced #trauma we must continually balance their need for stable, predictable routines & being flexible enough to meet them where they are at during times of struggle. This is more of an art than a science. #SEL#dailypractice#kidsdeserveit
Emotional & cognitive functioning skills are stage & state dependent. We can't always access all of our skills all of the time. Stressors & life circumstances directly & significantly impact our ability to regulate ourselves, relate to others, & problem-solve complex issues. #SEL
Educators should focus on our responsibility in helping to address a student's skill deficit and less on how or why the deficit exists to begin with. The goal is education, not blame. #SEL#noblame#KidsDeserveIt#edchat
Interested in leveraging your instructional time in a way that deepens content understanding, improves academic performance, and is culturally responsive & inclusive in nature? If you answered 'YES' then find ways to imbed #SEL into your daily routine!! #KidsDeserveIt#edchat
Sometimes the deepest connections that we make w/ our students are borne from the most difficult situations. Demonstrating our resolve to extend grace and understanding every day increases the likelihood that Ss will seek us out in support of their next issue. #SEL#kidsdeserveit
