Teaching students to never give up even when things get hard. Find ways to ask for help when we need them. -cat https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060794761 2022-02-22 15:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060794761 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060795610 learning how to respond or react based on thought and not emotions. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060795610 SEL to me means that students are understanding real life things and there is not just a focus on academics. SEL is practiced everyday in my class. Students learn to give self affirmation, gratitude, and we do activities that pertain to a specific word a day, such as respect. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060795676 2022-02-22 15:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060795676 SEL change https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798115 I learned how much self confidence in a student effects their emotional growth ]]> 2022-02-22 15:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798115 SEL means that students better understand their emotions, feelings and learn how to manage them. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798226 2022-02-22 15:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798226 I have definitely learned to collaborate with other teachers to find strategies that have worked for them and those that didn't. When it comes to teaching, I have a "hive mindset" and like to brainstorm with others to find the best fit for me. -cat https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798475 2022-02-22 15:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798475 SEL mean to means how to respond and making connection. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798652 2022-02-22 15:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798652 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798701 SEL means giving kids the skills to know and understand themselves and their emotions and to be in control rather than letting their emotions and gut reactions control their actions. Kids love to understand what's happening and why and I find it really helps them learn how to express themselves articulately and prevents major behavior episodes. I teach skills preventatively as much as possible but also address issues as they pop up with alternate, appropriate actions and helping build skills like perspective-taking and empathy]]> 2022-02-22 15:28:54 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798701 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798934 SEL is a learned behavior that students can use at home as well. We want students to be active learners and practice these strategies outside the classroom. A growth mindset encourages students to keep persevering with their tasks everyday! ]]> 2022-02-22 15:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060798934 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060799018 SEL to me is creating a safe environment for all students to learn successfully. In doing so, students grow academically, socially and emotionally. SEL is brought into my classroom through storybooks and lessons associated with the book.]]> 2022-02-22 15:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060799018 Throughout the year, my understanding has changed because each student is very different and have different needs. I have learned how to incorporate different things into my lessons that will intrigue my students, but also allow them to understand what it means to be kind, truthful, etc. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060799047 2022-02-22 15:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060799047 Part 1 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060800146 Social-Emotional Learning is really the foundation for a happy life. Life is challenging enough, so being able to navigate it independently and making great choices is helped fostered by a growth mindset. I have experienced it and love experiencing it because it makes teaching students easier, more enjoyably and with better results. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060800146 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060800574 Kids learning to understand their feelings and how they affect them. Learning strategies to calm down or refocus when feeling frustrated, sad or angry. Learning how to express themselves in a safe and clear way. Building confidence and intrinsic motivation so that they want to do it for themselves - Jodie]]> 2022-02-22 15:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060800574 Children are able to manage their emotions and problem-solve. SEL in our classroom is reading literature, a feeling chart, and modeling behaviors. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060801025 2022-02-22 15:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060801025 Would tell my old self, focus more on what the child is doing well and highlight that over the mistakes they make. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060803161 2022-02-22 15:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060803161 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060803273 Regarding SEL mindset, a growth mindset is key. People can grow and change, and be given tools to learn how to handle new and challenging situations. I have taught soft skills such as kindness, empathy, perseverance, and respect. These are constantly revisited and reflected upon in 1:1, small group, and whole class settings.-Valerie/Dina

Also learning how to express my emotion in a appropriate way within that environment.]]> 2022-02-22 15:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060803784 SEL is the foundation to all learning and collaboration. It is how prepared people are to interact with others, and refers to the soft skills they have developed, which they will need for the rest of their lives. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060805835 2022-02-22 15:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060805835 SEL means creating an environment that is safe and each student and their feelings are/feel welcomed. I strive for all my students to believe in themselves. When things go wrong, I encourage my students to take a step back and see what went wrong and how they can fix it. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060807998 2022-02-22 15:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060807998 Part 2 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060808390 My understanding of SEL has changed as I understood behavior patterns and patterns in general from my observations and anecdotal records.  With this, you can begin predicting how students will react to maximize their performance while teaching them 
de-escalation skills to help turn conflicts into opportunities. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060808390 I have learned that every student is unique, with different personalities and they should be treated differently. Teachers should find the best way to approach them and their personalities. Teachers should be role-models for them. Teachers should demonstrate empathy as well. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060808526 2022-02-22 15:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060808526 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060808804 Throughout the year, I learn that self-confidence has a lot to do with social-emotional learning]]> 2022-02-22 15:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060808804 For me SEL means self control and respect to other classmates and teacher. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060808936 2022-02-22 15:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060808936 I became much more patient and try to understand the child's behavior from their point of view. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060822174 2022-02-22 15:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060822174 This year, I have learned the importance of teaching students problem-solving skills! https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060891447 2022-02-22 16:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060891447 They have not shifted. As a teacher, it is my understanding that students are humans and need to learn these important skills on a daily basis. https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060892211 2022-02-22 16:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060892211 Part 3 https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060892602 I have learned a lot about SEL before however I've discovered it's success mostly by learning from my students and connecting to to myself. For example, some of my students' behaviors reminds me of me as a kid. This helps me understand how to connect to my students, build their trust enough so that they don't feel like they are alone and are constantly supported. Raising individual standards as appropriate to help keep the challenge going and find successes that relate to their current acumen. ]]> 2022-02-22 16:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060892602 Morgan designteam https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060894563 SEL starts with us so we can model these skills for our students. It's important for me to reflect on how I can do this within myself first.]]> 2022-02-22 16:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060894563 Valerie/Dina https://padlet.com/designteam/vry8xn3czmn6osnc/wish/2060896231 Each student has their own attitude and behavior. While we can approach this as whole-class discussions, it is important that we still look at children's needs individually (equitable approach to learning and behavioral modification)
