Dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins are the brain’s “happy chemicals,” or neurotransmitters. There are many research backed and biologically based ways to boost our mood in our daily lives! #EDCTipTuesday

Teachers know it, and research supports it: When students feel secure at school, they can focus their energy on learning. These activities help students feel like a part of their classroom community. ⬇️ edut.to/49DBL2q

I have seen the immense power of #youthleadership throughout my 20 yr career in education, and students always take it further than you can image.
"Often, society tells us that we are too young to have an impact, too young to stand up, and too young to be heard. By preventing violence and fostering understanding, young individuals are transforming lives and communities." –@Justinjpearson sandyhookpromise.org/blog/st…
MA's proposed updates to their health and physical framework set the bar for effectively and comprehensively supporting youth at every stage.
The most precious gift we can give our kids is a great education – one that’s grounded in science and encompasses the full range of experiences and identities.
We're proposing an update to our state's health and physical education framework. Tune in at mass.gov/governorlive

Back to school means #StartWithHelloWeek! The past 2 years have been tough on kids, and focusing on their mental health has never been more important. Grateful we are able to bring mental health and violence prevention training to over 50 MA school districts with @sandyhook.
