When we dip into systemic shifts and provide the time and space for educators to share their practices that warm up the nervous system we need to add "Walk Throughs" that give permission for these practices inside our procedures, routines, and exits! #education #educators

You may have seen lots of little bags of people appearing on your timelines from our classes.
Every person in our school will have a Little Bag of Safety.
We all get stressed, upset, down or sad at times.

Love this @desautels_phd! Regulated adult staff/ #students alike are so key! As the demands increase in all aspects of #education, we must be very conscious --helping keep our teachers #regulated too. Such important/difficult work. Now-- more than ever. #MTSS #BacktoSchool2023

working on so much new for this upcoming year! Here is a preview of the Focused Attention Practices/ Bell Work I integrated over the past two years with middle schools! These are as much for adults as they are our student! 20 total! Coming soon! #education #educators #schools
Brilliant. Supporting adults in #education is about more than teaching outcomes. #perception #livedexperience #stress #coregulate #learning @desautels_phd #MTSS
Augmented from the brilliant work of Dr. Nick Long as we move through this year , we need to deeply understand that this work is about the adult nervous system and and our traumas, embodied experiences, beliefs, perceptions and biases can contribute to conflict cycles!

Students are not always sure how to give kind and specific feedback. They need explicit instruction and practice giving peer feedback if it is going to be valuable and constructive.
Check out this peer feedback template, Copy and make it work for you.
