In English class, there are a lot of opportunities for students to connect what they're reading to their own personal lives. I sometimes give them quick writes to get into the mindset of the topic for the day. I always try to share what I would respond first to open the door for vulnerability and comfort. Deliberate in the sense that it allows students to process and share, but I guess I never really realized the trust that was being built.

Making space for students' emotional and mental health needs.

Both in class and beyond class, I do a lot of "checking in" to provide time and space for students to process and (if willing) share how they are doing emotionally and mentally.  "Frustration Fridays," Menti or Pear Deck emotion check ins, "how are you?" slips (or now emails), etc.  I do this deliberately to foster connections and support to students so that they can build everything else on a sense of safety, care, and belonging.

All are at different fitness levels and have different fitness goals.

Only supported in their effort to improve their health and fitness for their own reason(s).
