Irrespective of whether we have faith in religion or not, it’s good to be more compassionate. It makes us happier as individuals with a positive influence on our families and the neighborhood where we live.

Thank you @hannahall10 for breaking down the stigma on mental illness with your powerful story, and letting others know they aren't alone. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth 💜🏀
"I'm Hanna Hall, a 5'3" Division 1 point guard from the University at Buffalo and I struggle with mental illness every day." This is my story.

When we as staff support each other daily our students not only have people who are emotionally available to support them but they have people who are role modeling real social emotional skills.
As we bring #Socialemotionallearning to our nation's schools, including @YaleEmotion's goal to make CT the First Emotionally Intelligent State, educator well-being must be a priority. The educators who are teaching our kids need support! @rulerapproach

If every school in America is willing to individualize their academic instruction, shouldn't we also be individualizing our behavior instruction? #SEL #behavior #teachingandlearning #KidsDeserveIt
Shout out to all the girls and women in sports who do their thing with dedication and pride. National Girls &Women in sports Day @USLacrosse
Thank you for helping our Berner students realize their potential. We are very lucky to have you. Have you thanked your counselor today?@BernerChiefs @Terri_matlat @CoachHerr @R_White_Berner @MRollin32 @KATalyst4growth
You can always tell who strong women are. They are the ones building each other up instead of tearing each other down. Shout out to our 6 grade girls @BernerChiefs who started the discussion “I am beautiful”. Well done! @selfesteemrise Thank you Hance Family Foundation

This is on my reading list... retweet if you recommend this book.
#EmotionalIntelligence was coined 30 yrs ago. 1000s of articles & millions spent on training. Yet, we still struggle to honestly answer the question: How are you feeling? That’s why I wrote #PermissionToFeel, released today! @YaleEmotion @rulerapproach marcbrackett.com
As educators we have to work to not be reactive when our students become emotional at us and unable to self regulate. We need instead to be responsive and assist a student in coping with the situation and their choices. #EmotionalIntelligence @YaleEmotion
Not a new concept but one worth reflecting on. Especially when you are looking to have a positive impact on your world and those around you.

One of the most important shifts when transitioning from a punitive to restorative discipline process is in our language when speaking w/ students.
Changing the question from "Do you know why that was wrong?" to "What can you do to make things right?"

It's #NationalComingOutDay! Recent research finds the majority of teachers want to help LGBTQ students but don’t always know how. | Check out these resources curated by @edutopia to help support LGBTQ students: edut.to/2pJ16H3 #HavePride 🌈 – at Oak Grove, SC
As we consider best practices for educating our students both academically and social emotionally we need to listen first. #schoolclimate #permissiontofeel @rulerapproach
”Do not fire my educator because she is gay. Do not fire her, because she is the reason that out LGBTQ+ youth like me can survive and thrive.” Jess from GLSEN's National Student Council speaks out in @TheAdvocateMag: #SCOTUS #LGBTQ #NoRightToDiscriminate

Expecting students to do things that they aren't developmentally ready for can lead to frustration, manifesting in misbehaviors. We need to bring back being a kid.
