How one classroom becomes a whole school culture (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many schools we work with started the same way. Not with a committee. Not with a strategic plan. It was one teacher who saw us on TikTok or Instagram then tried our free modules in their room and was to-the-moon excited about it.<img alt="" class="sizing
Grief does not wait for a convenient week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere in your building right now is likely a child who lost someone over the summer.You may not know who. Schools are good at tracking a lot of things but it’s often hard to track this one. A grandparent dies in July, a parent moves out in August, a family loses a home, and the child walks back through your door in September carrying all of it, and the only signal you get is that they seem a little off.Sometimes it does not even look like sadness.

Watch the one whose reaction is always a size too big for whatever happened. Watch the one who has already decided, three weeks in, that they
How to tell a real SEL program from a repackaged one. Here’s what to ask: (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Choosing a social emotional learning program is harder than it should be. Just today I spoke with a behavioral specialist who’s in a district with students with high ACE scores. Her district is using an SEL program that doesn’t work for kids with trauma, making it unusable for her special education classrooms. They are not one-size-fits-all. Every SEL vendor says the same words. Evidence-based. Research-aligned. Trauma-informed. The language has become so common that it has almost stopped meanin
