“Emotions are contagious, and when a teacher is able to model a calm presence through their tone, facial expression, and posture, students are less likely to react defensively.” Here are some ways to co-regulate behavior with students. edut.to/32twwj9

Middle school students "often get lumped in with high schoolers or treated like elementary school students, but middle school is a distinct phase we can’t afford to neglect," says @Pfagell. Here are a few ways to support them.

“What we don’t want to do is communicate to students that when your school system is failing you, the best way to cope is to sit still and be quiet and compliant.”

Sometimes, kids make bad choices. Sometimes, they really screw up. We hold them accountable... but we can also extend some grace. They need to know we still like them. They need to learn a lesson... but it is never constructive when they feel alienated from us.

The child who self-regulates by avoidance, escape, withdrawal, or what is most common today, self-anaesthetizing, is in no state to learn, let alone develop the empathic impulses and emotions that fuel a Just Society. #ThursdayThoughts

My friend just told our group chat they will be selling their things to keep their son in his autism program, their 6 yr old just started having breakthroughs and now his funding is being taken away!
@MacLeodLisa and @fordnation do you think that's fair? #AutismDoesntEndAtFord !

So... A bunch of autistic kids are going to booted from therapy and going to schools, there is no plan to support said schools, class size caps are being removed and we can't hire new teachers. What could possibly go wrong? #disasterwaitingtohappen

Due to icy weather conditions expected, all schools and offices in the Peel District School Board are closed for Wednesday, Feb. 6. This includes all busing and all before/after school programs, including night school. (We had to bring this #PeelIceDay image back😉)
