This is my strength, this is what I'm good at. And I think that can get you there and really making those connections with the kids a lot of times is that first step, in my opinion.
Picture this: you're an educator trying to create a safe and nurturing environment for your students, but the challenges seem overwhelming. In this episode of 'Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.', Dr. Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Dr. Stacy Moore tackle these very challenges head-on. Drawing inspiration from the concept of 'cement shoes' found in 'Fostering Resilient Learners' by Kristin Souers and Pete Hall, they explore how educators can stay grounded while fostering resilience in their classrooms.
The trio dives into practical strategies for trauma-sensitive teaching, emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and motivational interviewing. They share tips on how to remain steady, even amid the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or someone interested in mental health in education, this episode is packed with relatable anecdotes and actionable advice that can make a real difference.
