These past three days have been some of the most rewarding days of PD that I’ve ever had! I feel like I’ve gained knowledge, learned things I never knew that I was lacking, and gained a better understanding of my why. I truly feel like educators should never stop learning, growing and evolving. These past three days have changed me for the better as an educator and as a mother! Thank you! - Lara Boyle

I have attended the in-person SLI for many years (almost annually since 2013, actually . . . yes, I'm an addict). While I know Julie is the most engaging educator I have ever encountered, I was not looking forward to sitting in zoom rooms for three days after 18 months of pandemic-inflicted zooming. Holy cow, what fun! And what LEARNING!! Yes, even at my 6th or 7th Institute, more LEARNING!! Julie, and now, Kristie, y'all are wonder women, thanks for an amazing three days. Feeling inspired and energized for the fun and challenges ahead!

The three day SLI just ended and it was magnificent! This was my 5th time attending and I am so glad that I did. There is so much to learn, un-learn, and re-learn about inclusion. If you want to learn how to create an inclusive school or district or gain a sense of how inclusive your district/school is, talk to Julie and Kristie. They are brilliant!

TO END PUNITIVE, EXCLUSIONARY DISCIPLINE, WE'RE GOING TO NEEDNEW LENSES, PRACTICES, AND POLICIES. YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

We are in the midst of a societal and public health crisis. We are losing our most vulnerable kids, largely due to perspectives that are outdated and counterproductive, and disciplinary practices that are punitive and exclusionary.

With each time-out, detention, suspension, expulsion, paddling, restraint, seclusion, and arrest at school, there are children who aren't getting the help they need and are being pushed away from caregivers who could instead be helping them.

The cost to all of us is profound. Overwhelmed, discouraged educators. Frustrated, desperate parents. Expensive placements. Disenfranchised, marginalized, alienated kids. A pipeline to prison.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Finding the motivation to make positive lifestyle changes can be hard for anyone. For teenagers, it can be especially difficult when parents are the ones telling them to do it. But if they've fallen into unhealthy habits like vaping or alcohol abuse, change can be beneficial. Motivational interviewing is a form of therapy that creates a safe, non-judgmental environment for teens to establish their own goals and values and see how changing unhealthy behaviors can benefit them in the long run.

This series of articles comes from the Child Mind Institute, with most available in English and Spanish. Why might teens be resistant to therapy and how can parents and others to help them get the treatment they need? The articles explain how motivational interviewing can help teens gain the self-confidence to make important behavioral changes. To read more about motivational interviewing, and to connect with the articles in both English and Spanish, please visit CPIR's abstract.
