Tier 2 facilitates these skills and Tier 3 assesses and supports students as they apply these skills.]]> 2018-10-30 01:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298325196 amy_r_dewit https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298325232 --Attention and Impulsivity

Necessary adaptations and modifications should be made to make sure this happens.
Who Can Teach Yoga and Mindfulness in Schools?: "Anyone can teach yoga and mindfulness given the appropriate training, active practice, and correct teaching credentials for [their] school district and state." (pg 61)
The Mindfulness and Yoga teacher as a Practitioner": Teachers of mindfulness and yoga should engage in regular, formal practice similar to what they would hope of their students.]]> 2018-10-30 02:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298331550 amy_r_dewit https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298332882 The MY-SEL model gives a framework that helps us understand why trauma has such large impacts on a students' behavior in the classroom. When a student is facing challenges in her family or community, it will affect how she approaches and takes part in the learning offered to her at school. ]]> 2018-10-30 02:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298332882 amy_r_dewit https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298333011 We know the brain is literally shaped by the experiences and thought patterns people have. We've learned how the body responds to trauma and stress and how that hinders a student's ability to concentrate, regulate their emotions, store information, and relate to others. The 3 tier model presented in chapter 2 gives a process for meeting the needs of all students whether they are in a loving, supportive environment or if they are in a state of continual stress. Give intensive intervention, even students' brains who have been shaped by chronic stress can experience a healing of their brain of sorts when they participate in mindfulness and yoga practice. ]]> 2018-10-30 02:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298333011 amy_r_dewit https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298333428 Education has been a top-down process throughout all its changes in purposes and goals. In its early years, education was designed to create and effective work and military force as well as to teach "correct" political practice. Later, it sought to build character and instill values that would shape responsible citizens. Today, we need education that produces students who are capable or academic solutions but can also manage personal, social and civic collaboration.]]> 2018-10-30 02:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298333428 amy_r_dewit https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298333996 Social and emotional learning programs typically include goals of developing the capacity to form close and secure relationships and developing specific relationship skills. They have been shown to "promote youth development, reduce negative behaviors, and increase social-emotional competence" (pg 9)
Service Learning: This integrates community service with academics. It is expected to develop higher order thinking, cultural awareness, and academic motivation. 
Contemplative Education: This requires students to practice to control over physical and mental activities which helps to create awareness. Yoga and Mindfulness fall into this category.]]> 2018-10-30 02:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298333996 amy_r_dewit https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298335048 This model puts the learner at the center, negotiating the challenges and benefits from both the internal system (thoughts, feelings, and body) and external systems (family, school/community, and culture/society).
"The MY-SEL model holds that embodied experiences and practices are the facilitators of learning." (pg 16) Mindful/yoga practices help develop self-regulation and care as well as internal, reflective engagement with the goals being tools for learning, self-architecture and creative problem solving.]]> 2018-10-30 02:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298335048 amy_r_dewit https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298336022 Yoga and mindfulness can impact how the student responds to both internal and external system qualities. In the case of trauma, yoga and mindfulness give students tools to manage their stress and deal with the effects of the trauma they are experiencing. They can also negotiate the external systems in a way that facilitates learning and creativity. ]]> 2018-10-30 02:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/amy_r_dewit/xklzwacphekf/wish/298336022
