We're not rethinking punishment in ECE.
Let's agree to agree and stop.
I don't call punishment a practice or strategy.
It's oppression. @TCBehavior

It is so important to never forget that behavior is communication. Rather than reacting to the behavior, look deeper and more often than not you'll realize the cause. In the end it takes a bit more time, but the results are long lasting.

A preschool teacher is in the top 4 finalist for @CCSSO National Teacher of the Year! So exciting to not only see #ECE recognized in AZ with 2 preschool teachers in the top 10 but also in the running for the highest honor! First time since 1991, according to the article ❤#NTOY

Self-regulation is a critical skill. Child care programs use a variety of calming techniques to develop these skills. Are parents using similar techniques? Children will benefit from consistency. #FamilyFriday #ECE #ksece #selfregulation owl.li/GMyp30mqH8V

When it comes to lighting your your classroom:
🕯 Adjust the amount of lighting needed throughout the day, according to the arousal needs of the classroom
🕯 Do what you can to maximize available natural lighting or lessen the intensity of fluorescent lighting

Today is the court-ordered deadline for the Trump administration to reunify children & families at the U.S.- Mexico border. We must urge Congress to pressure the administration to reunite children with their families quickly and safely! bit.ly/2OiDiBG #IAmAChild

I’m moved toward 1 disturbing conclusion:
Disparities in child outcomes are largely due to disparities in how we view children & in resource allocation, which are largely due to our biases & systemic racism & other isms, which are largely due to our empathy deficits.

Wow! Study shows #HeadStart benefits more than the kids who participate — it also helps THEIR kids decades later. chalkbeat.org/posts/us/2017/…
