Reaching and Helping Students with Learning Issues

# data[].attributes.body
As DCDS continues to admit students with learning issues, I need to continue to learning how to reach these students with different modes of help.

Help students begin to explore/begin to practice the idea of emotional self-regulation:
- Awareness of internal experience
- Conscious choice of response to internal response
- Cultivation of positive internal experience

Self awareness can connect to self consciousness which in turn can lead to self regulation. Helping students see they have the power to do this can help in a lot of different areas.

How do we keep service and giving back at the forefront of what we do? Should most of it belong in service learning month or should we do more of it throughout the year?

Quotes from Mr. Schu:
"What will you tattoo on hearts during the 2018-1019 school year?" ~ Mr. Schu
"Learning starts from a place of love. Love leads to habits, and habits lead to skills."
"When you share your heart through story, you reach everyone in the room."
I spend a lot of time teaching the how-to of research, but that's not reaching anyone's heart.  :-)  I'd like to find more ways to connect to students' hearts.

Teaching independence at a younger age. Allowing for them to have more freedom and choice. We talk about failure, but often don't let the students fail.
Simplify. Take out some of the unnecessary "extras" and focus more on our lessons and direct time with our students.

Rather than trying to stop behaviors, I want to design lessons that channel student behavior.

Positive Behavior Principles:  Intervention

Behaviors are strengthened through skill development.  We don't punish children for skill deficit.  Teach expectations and practice areas of concern.

I want to work on building a greater sense of community within my classroom.

This session gave me strategies for receiving feedback:
1- practice active listening, 2- never argue, 3- depersonalize quickly, 4- evaluate it slowly, 5- be mindful (explore where you can stop/start critiqued behaviors)

Also understanding that feedback is simply DATA to help IMPROVE. It's not meant to be hurtful or illicit pain/bad feelings. We need to practice being in the mindset of giving and receiving feedback!

Building a better sense of community in an ensemble (or classroom) will help us work together to accomplish our common goals. And as Jason Patera stated, "An arts education cultivates a student's capacity for purpose and passion in the service of something that matters."

So, while I know that most of my students will not pursue a career in the arts, providing them the foundation they need to develop a capacity for "imagination, community, and joy" is something that I want to foster in my classroom.
