I think checking in with students on how they are feeling emotionally is one way to support your students. Reading books and having class discussions about how to handle your emotions and why you're feeling that way would be beneficial as well. I've had teachers in the past that make a big point to tell their students that they are there if they need to talk to them which I appreciate.

You can support your students noticing differences in their body/oral language and offering support and building relationships with students. I've only had one or two teachers that really showed that they wanted to support me.

I can support my students by encouraging them to talk to me when they need to. I want to make sure that all my students are comfortable with talking to me because I will always be opened minded/respectful towards them. I actually was not supported in one of my college classes, it did really get to me. At first, I let it get to me too much where there was a point I was failing, but then I realized if I failed I would let this person win. So I ended up passing the class with an A. After that, I told myself I would do well my senior year, and I have not failed one thing yet this semester

I can support them by having a Question/Venting box placed somewhere within my classroom. This can allow your students share and bring to light follow up comments and concerns that they were not comfortable sharing in class. I can follow up with them personally or I can address the question to the class if needed.

I think to help support students SEL, they need to first feel comfortable enough to come to you with problems. They need to feel accepted and welcome in the classroom to know they are in a safe space. It is really important to show students you care and are listening.

You can support a student simply by showing you care and being there for them. You can show that you care in the most simple ways. I had a lot of teacher support when my mom had her brain aneurysm when I was really young. Teachers were very flexible and would have conversations with me to make sure I was doing okay which showed me they cared about me and listened to me!

I can support my students SEL by creating a safe environment for them. I can also support them by asking how they are feeling at the start of everyday. If I notice any behavior changes, I can sit with that student and discuss how we can make things better. My high school teacher/ coach was my biggest supporter. She was always there for me and helped me when I had a problem which allowed us to built a strong connection. I want to be this for my students one day.

I can support my students' SEL by having frequent check ins and making connections with your students. Having your students trust you is very important in the classroom. I have had a good amount of support by my teachers and strive to be a positive role model for my students

You can support student needs by just being aware of any changes in attitude or behavior, and asking them if anything is wrong to open that line of communication.

In high school, my grandma passed away and it was hard for me, and two of my teachers had varied approaches to how they supported me. One teacher asked me to stay after class and told me not to worry about any due dates for the time being, and another teacher didn't provide me that support and just asked me for my homework the day I came back to school.

I would address the student's concern independently, meaning not in front of the whole class. Additionally, I would keep an open mind and calm tone of voice because you never know what they may be going through at home. The tone of your voice is especially important because you do not want them to think you are mad or angry at the way they are behaving. Overall, I want to create a calm, welcoming environment.

You can support students SEL by sharing your emotions (within reason) with students so they can see it's okay to have big feelings and how to express them. Also having a calm down corner or a place where they can go if they are having big emotions. I have definitely had support from teachers which helped me feel more comfortable and supported in the classroom.

Making sure they know you are there, creating that comfortable classroom really is key to know you are there to support your students. I did have a teacher both support and not support me, when I was going through a hard home life my teacher made sure they were there for me if needed.

I can support my students by doing check in and providing them with a safe and comfortable classroom environment. In school, their were a few teachers that were amazing with supporting SEL. But unfortunately there were others who didn't care.

There are many ways to support students' SEL learning by being present with them and being present in the classroom. Letting your students know that you are there and that you hear what they are saying is important.

You can support your students and I think it is important to support them. They spend a good portion of their day with you so its important for them to be able to trust you. Yes I have been supported by teachers, but also not supported by others.

I can support students by being someone they can always come talk to about anything (showing empathy). I have had teachers support me beyond just in academic settings. I really connected with some of my teachers in middle school that where always there if I needed to talk to anyone.

Teachers can support their students by building rapport and being aware of what a students "normal" behavior is so they can notice if they are having an off day. I think back to 1st grade when my teacher really supported me. I would cry in the bathroom every day and she went above and beyond to work with me and the guidance office to get me feeling more comfortable.

You can support a student by doing check ins with them or having them journal. Just by checking in with students and talking about their personal lives and feelings can help you understand what is going on with them better

I think a lot of SEL is based off of rapport. We had some scripted SEL lessons in school but the times I actually learned were when a teacher noticed and had a conversation with me organically.
