I attempted to attend the educhat #resiliencechat Monday March 13th at 10pm. I think this last chance to participate in an edchat was not a great choice, as there were no participants. I did however get a chance to review past #resiliencechat edchats, and found the following insights.
In the discussion around resiliency, there were ideas shared from restorative practice, nonviolent conflict resolution, and trauma-awareness. These ideas are often covered in far reaching professional development trainings, but are not yet seen as essential skill set for teachers. I hope that teacher training programs will start to bring trauma-awareness, ACE, and RP into the norm of the teachers skill set. As Darling-hammond points out, we need to also be the psychological supports to our students, in addition to academics, we need to serve the whole student. I will definitely check in on another of these edchats. I appreciate that it helps to build a network of teachers across the country who are interested to puch the envelope in education and really bring about change.

AuthorAs a teacher and community advocate I strive to remedy the challenges of adverse childhood experiences (ACE), poverty and violence. I'm intrigued by the motivation that is cultivated by different supportive and discouraging learning environment, and how overcoming the achievement gap can transform our society. Archives
