Always remember that perception is reality to students.
How we make them feel matters. 🙌

Recess , unstructured play, & classes like music, Arts, physical education, etc. are not only the reason some students enjoy coming to school, but may be only time students engage in divergent learning ( innovative/ creative learning) which is key for innovation in society.

We have always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, unstructured play, and classes like Music, Art, Physical Education, etc. but they have been systemically taken away or reduced because some have decided testing is more important than learning.

Teachers, Principals, Directors, Superintendents...
No matter your salary, education, or what side of the desk you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all.

#NewYearsEve is 6 sunsets away. We reflect on the year 2021: the work we do for #wildhorses and the memories of our team mates. >> bit.ly/3mzlDbC
The fight goes on... inspired by each memory.

The highest level of Blooms Taxonomy is standardized testing ability. No wait it is: Create!
As in creativity. Something children begin to learn when given time for unstructured play, recess, and active learning.

My 8-year-old asked me "Mom, why do schools only track the bad things that you do and not the good things?"

Some students go an entire day at school without anyone saying their name.
Be the adult who speaks to each student by name.
Everyone loves to hear their name.

Are your high school kids acting like middle schoolers? Middle schoolers acting like elementary kids? If so you’re not alone. Socially & academically many students are 1.5 yrs behind where they “should” be. It’s not your fault. Don’t give up. This year is a marathon not a sprint.

I think you’ll make more progress with students when you’re trying to build on their strengths instead of just trying to fix their weaknesses.
