I'm right there with you on how we can measure social/emotional development in the primary grades. Stumped. Are you looking for  some sort of survey assessment that every primary kid would take? OR would it be just for your primary small groups?

As some have said, virtual meetings would be wonderful for those that are super busy. With that being said, I did really enjoy the in person one a month or so ago - I think attendance was low because the weather got super bad that evening! I liked being able to talk with you or the presenter afterwards.

I think some parents are struggling just as much as their kiddos. Some of us don’t know how to handle some of these behaviors our kiddos are coming home with or how to support them. Or how to deal with friendship crisis! I would love some kind of information about how to help my own kiddo, and myself!

Have a bullet point "to-do" checklist on how to report a student making a threat to themselves or others sent out to teachers.  Write as simple/straight forward as possible.  Include that teacher in the process by informing them they did a good job/followed the checklist/update them at the end of the incident to help the teacher feel included/informed.

Keeping procedure as clear cut as possible and sending out reminders (monthly? weekly? depending on how common this is) to keep teachers updated and have a fresh "checklist" in their inbox.

These types of threats are very overwhelming and there are so many different outcomes of these incidents.  I think that may be the factor that keeps teachers hung up on how to handle it?  Because of how overwhelming it is?  Maybe we need to ask more questions to get an emotional label on the "why?"  Creating a space for teachers to know who the Crisis Team leaders are & allowing them to ask questions ( the "what if's") to get those thoughts released from their heads could ease the pressure/stress surrounding this.

For the brag tags: a new recognition system where all the students pick someone they admired from their lesson that day or something along those lines.

This could be anonymous, where the student writes out a name of another student and why they admire/etc. them that day.  They can put it in a basket and you deliver them to the receiving student.  Or, the student writing the positivity note could have the option to hand deliver their note to spread some love!

Work on collaborating with middle schools to create a coalition of 6-8 grade students to come and speak with small groups?  Maybe talk to kids specifically who may need some positive peer support at school, or just to provide a general idea/expectation on what middle school is like from an actual middle schooler.

Have a time for middle school adults (crisis team leaders?) come to speak with small groups; like the same idea written above.  To provide positive adult supports.

We can make a QR code for anything! That could be a fun way to promote and advertise the presentations without adding too much text to a poster?

Ways to advertise: make a short video discussing what topics are covered in the presentation and blasting that in emails and social media?

Recording the presentation while it is happening to then post online? Or pre-record it with an app that can have both video and presentation screen (Loom?) to let people click through & access electronic handouts/access links to videos, etc. QR code to get the recording?

Maybe we can pull in leaders in the school/district/community to help present or be involved in the SEL small groups to provide a positive adult support to students/positive role model to talk about: bullying, inclusion, emotional regulations, anxiety, confidence

Of those 9 or so SEL Skills, I would love to have a brief definition of each one. For example: What determines emotional regulation? - Trevor

One of the things you mentioned was trying to provide ways for parents to get info in addition to weeknight education classes?

A webinar format like Zoom or Teams could be helpful.

I also wonder if you could create a "online class" where parents go through material at their own pace when they have time/when the need arises? A simple format might be several 5-10 minute videos covering different aspects of the same topic, with reflection and application questions provided in between videos. - Trevor

Cari, I love hearing the scope of what you analyze, prep, and put into practice! I would like to see more of a teacher presence in the feedback that you offer, i.e. nine responses to one of your surveys, which I think is not okay. I will be forming ongoing thoughts on all the information you presented today and will communicate those ideas next semester. Thank you for working so hard for all of us, especially our students!

I think we can work together to come up with some sort of a teacher incentive to fill out your feedback survey(s). It will be honor system since they are anonymous, but I’m happy to help you with this and do a treat for those who participate or something. Let me know when this survey is and how I can help! ~Morgan

What if we incorporated SEL lessons during early release? For example we spent extra time on the topics you’re teaching in class that month.

You mentioned wanting to improve the data about parents knowing how to access these services for their students. Is this something you truly believe you can increase? You are so busy already providing triage, individual services, small group counseling, whole group lessons, talking with families, etc!!! I truly believe you are already doing more than is expected in this area.

You are a reflective practitioner. I know you have a social media presence already and that may be a way to engage more parents by sharing resources available to them through you. You are amazing!!
