Just now getting this video watched (had a meeting on Wednesday during PD). That story about Josh is the story of so many students we have at Audubon. We need to shift our mindset from "What's wrong with you?" to What happened to you". Josh's reaction to all that happened (throwing his backpack) was him trying to figure out how to cope. Let's think about if we need to change how we respond to others, especially our students. Let's work together to build our toolboxes.

I think it's important for everyone to remember that we all have specific reasons that we do things or don't do things. There is a reason a person doesn't do something, it's not just because they didn't want to or they are a bad person. Sometimes people only choose to see the bad side of someone or look at it from a negative point of view without actually knowing what has happened to cause the situation to change or be a last minute change from the norm.

This is good to remember when kids come into my classroom upset from something that has happened earlier in the day.

I say or think this constantly about my students (and my own kids) when they're having an 'off' day. It happens to adults as well, so I need to make sure to have more empathy towards others and give them some grace.

It makes me think of all the different layers of opportunities we have to make a 2 second to 20 minute intervention.  The bus driver, the office, the classroom . . . all are at risk educators at some level.

I sometimes will forget just how much a simple act of asking small questions and getting those students to share can impact them.

I think that empathy needs to be there for kids, especially considering how much of their circumstances are out of their control. However, at some age, kids do need to learn that it is not okay to act out because of what "happened" to you. The world is going to expect you to control your emotions, or they will assume something is "wrong" with you.

This was a lot like the conference that some of us attended a couple summers ago. Very important to understand that Childhood Toxic Stress comes from a variety of situations and has lifelong effects. It's important to be aware that we don't know what kids have been through before they walk in our doors each day. "What happened to you?" is easier to de-escalate from than "What's wrong with you?"

The kid who walked in at an 8 made me think of one of my students; good reminder to think about what has been happening to him and approach him differently.

I feel like this is something I see daily. I see kids reacting to something that had happened to them prior to the school day. I just assume there is something wrong with them. The students do not have the SEL skills to cope with what happened to them. We judge or try and deal with whatever the reaction the kids are giving us, but it's hard. I also feel my SEL as a teacher plays into this. If I had an off morning my reactions to the students reaction is negative. We all need to work on our SEL tools.

We sometimes don't think about how a child's home life can really cause stress, anxiety, fear, etc. When kids come in with these feelings, we have to stop and think, what happened before they got to school? We need to be patient and TALK to our kiddos that are having a rough time. We have to get to the root of the problem to help them overcome the obstacle at hand. Show them love and hopefully they will show love back!

Changing our mindset from what is wrong with this student to asking what happened to this student will make a big difference in how the students react and how we as educators will react to the problems that are making them feel the way they are.

It is always a good reminder to think about what happened to kids before they arrive to school each day. As a parent, there is so much that happens in their lives the 16 hours they are not here. We ALL need a daily reminder of this!!

When you begin to view students through the lens of what has happened in their day rather than directly at the behavior that some see as willful disrespect/disobedience, it really puts that behavior in a whole new light.

Toxic stress is something we ought to look more into, not just for the students but for us as staff. Especially this year, but so often in eduction teachers are put into fight or flight mode on the daily between interactions with students, colleagues, parents, and admin, but we are adults and expected to always be fine and always put the kids first, ignoring our own mental and physical health. When we ignore our social-emotional health how are we supposed to then model it to students?

I love the idea of asking students "what happened to you?" instead of "What's wrong with you?".  What some of these students deal with outside of our school walls probably weighs on them more than any of us will ever know.  Keep showing "grace" like we have talked about all year.

I think it is important to remember this in all aspects of life not just with our students. Any person we come in contact with deserves the chance to know we care. We have no idea what is going on with anyone outside of what they share with us and it is important to remember to ask what happened, how can I help versus what is wrong with you!

I really enjoyed the Top 10 Skills for employers.  In my classroom we used to look at 21st century skills that are sought after by employers, but I think this is more valuable because our students really need to learn to invest in themselves and their well-being.  Also, I am grateful for the reminder about the journey that students may take to get to our classrooms each and every day. I think it's easy as a teacher to get caught up in being upset about something that has nothing to do with you, because you don't want to lose control, have other students' learning impacted, or have your teaching interrupted.  But everyone deserves a break and guidance on how to cope with unmanageable feelings.

From the magazine, Inc., the top 10 skills most desired by employers based on the World Economic Forum all focus on social and emotional learning.   "This isn't some hippie class that schools offer.  This is a reality that the world is looking for."   Social skills are such an important foundation for success.

Asking a student what happened to them versus why did you do that is less threatening to the student and will hopefully help deescalate the situation.

I like how he relates toxic stress/trauma to social emotional learning to work skills that all employers are seeking. That's the why - that's exactly why it matters! It makes our classrooms better and our businesses/communities better!
