This peaked my interest because it is a strategy to help students find similarities in each other which can really help build relationships as a class.

I love the positive pivot because it allows students to self-evaluate, which I think is incredibly important to correcting behavior.

Listening circles seem like they would work better in an elementary school setting. I don't see students being open and honest with eachother in listening circles or feeling like they can actually share anything with a group in the high school setting.

I like the idea of having a chart in the class of self-awareness. Comparing what self-awareness may look like and what it may sound like. Examples of what it may look like is identifying emotions, recognizing strengths and self-confidence. What it may sound like is how am I feeling and why? What kind of person do I want to be today? And when am I at my best.

This Feelings Wheel is extremely overwhelming at first and I didn't like it, but once I could see that is deepens students and our own understandings of our feelings in order to best approach and deal with those emotions, I can see how these can easily be used in check-ins in homeroom and after breaks to see if there is anything we need to do to help students out.

This strategy is great for students to learn how to act. It's a great way for students to evaluate themselves.

I really like the Count Me Down strategy for helping students better understand each other. For this activity students will be paired up with another student and they will answer three questions that will be provided by the teacher before hand. Through this strategy students are able to find similarities and differences that they may have with their peers. It allows them the opportunity to appreciate different perspectives and ways of life.

I really loved the listening circle, I have actually seen this strategy in action before, and it is pretty compelling. Make some room in the corner of your classroom where two-three students can talk it out if a situation cannot get resolved during the classroom listening circle. Designate 10-15 minutes for those certain students to talk it out among themselves in level 1 voice noise and that would create some bond between them.

I really enjoyed learning about social awareness because I feel it is something that is lacking in students today, especially as you start to move into upper elementary, junior high, and high school. I notice especially from the respect standpoint or the lack of in many cases. The strategy I would likely implement in my class is a listening circle. It is great that students be able to use their voices and speak up, but I also feel that listening is a super power, as well. Allowing the students to share diverse perspectives, have respectful and thought provoking conversations, and a safe place to confide in classmates. I could see this positively impacting students as they move into adulthood.

I think it was very clever and catchy. For relationship skills, and many other identifying/communication segments, they felt very formal which may be taunting to most individuals who may need it. Maybe if there was a more informal sequence that builds up to seriousness may help.

I really liked this portion of the website because it gave helpful tools on how to set expectations of behavior in the classroom. The website suggests being simple and specific because this will be the clearest to students.

An example of self-management is catching yourself from negative talk and switching towards positive talk. Typically like having a growth mindset. In moments where you feel overwhelmed, find a way to look at the cup as half full rather than half empty. In a much more self-reflective process, self-management can be used using the WOOP activity. This activity allows students to plan out the area in which they wish to grow and think about the obstacles they may face. They may use this activity to engage in self-management by thinking of alternatives to unexpected circumstances that may trigger our emotions.

Relationship Skills Strategy: Rose, Bud, Thorn

# data[].attributes.body
I have heard about the relationship Skills Strategy: Rose, Bud, Thorn, but there was soenmthing distinct in the article about this strategy that caught my eye. It is very easy for a student to be negative about the thorn, which is what the student needs help with. the strategy stated that the students nd teacher should come up with a plan to turn the thorn into a rose. The student is able to end with a positive note.

Social Awareness Strategy: The Listening Circle

Social Awareness Strategy: The Listening Circle

# data[].attributes.body
A social awareness strategy recommended is the Listening Circle. I love the idea of the Listening Circle because it teaches students empathy, provides students the space to hear from others and different points of view, and it can help build a community. This is so important because it provides a safe space for students to say what they need to and for students to listen to their peers in a respectful manner. This is especially important because of all the diverse cultures, backgrounds, and contexts they are all surrounded by at school. They can learn from one another.

Positive self talk can be both good and bad. In a good way, students will feel more confident as they are not tearing themselves down. However, in a bad way, students deny their own feelings. Students hopefully will increase their resilience using positive self talk.

This activity helps students with their self awareness, and is often used in high school. This scale is a way for students to respond to a situation. Students will consider a challenge they are experiencing, and identify how they are currently responding to it. Then, they can ask themselves what changes they can make so that they respond in a way that is a higher number on the positive pivot scale. The scale ranges from a -5 to a +5, and I can imagine using a point system with students to help motivate them towards better coping strategies! Maybe after accumulating 20 points the teacher can provide the student with something that is rewarding for them!
