https://lnkd.in/gaDM-hc9 As much as I respect Dr. Jill Biden's accomplishments in the field of education, today she had the WRONG answer about Educator retention. The answer to Educator Retention is NOT tasking educators with ANOTHER task (mentorship) to save the profession. The correct answer is to VALIDATE the professionalism that educators bring to classrooms day in and day out. Some simple ways to disrupt Educator turnover..... 1. Listen to the issues that educators advocate on 2. Provide them with supportive leaders, not authoritarians 3. Provide mental health professionals to them and their students And most importantly; PAY THEM THEIR WORTH! I'd take the list above over dinner at the WH any damn day. #TeacherRetentionAdvocate #ClassroomStability #KeepTeachersInspired #EduEquityNow #SupportUrbanEducators #VoicesForTeachers #EducateToElevate #EmpowerEducators #UrbanEdSolutions #Teacherturnover

Isolation isn’t necessarily the issue For distressed children being out of the classroom in the immediacy following an incident might be in everyone’s best interest But it shouldn’t be a form of punishment It shouldn’t be for minor things And it shouldn’t be for any longer than needed These are the issues people have with isolation as punishment Withdrawal is an opportunity for teaching self regulation through co regulation, emotion coaching, social skills and restorative work It should be the most skilled staff, not a cheap shortcut #changingPerceptions #3minuteThoughts

1. **Role Modeling** 👪: Parents and family members serve as the first and most influential role models for children. The behavior and manners they exhibit in daily interactions set a standard for children to emulate. 2. **Consistency and Reinforcement** 🔄: Families consistently reinforce good manners through praise and positive reinforcement. This helps children understand the importance of polite behavior and encourages them to continue practicing it. 3. **Communication and Guidance** 🗣️: Families play a critical role in teaching children the appropriate ways to communicate and interact with others. This includes teaching them to say "please," "thank you," and other polite expressions. 4. **Cultural and Social Norms** 🌍: The family environment is where children first learn the cultural and social norms that govern polite behavior. These norms vary widely between cultures and communities, making the family's role in imparting them essential. 5. **Conflict Resolution and Empathy** 🤝: Families teach children how to resolve conflicts politely and empathetically. This includes listening to others, understanding different perspectives, and responding with kindness and respect. Would you like more detailed explanations on any of these points?

Building effective relationships with your students’ families and carers at home can be difficult especially when there’s limited time and resources, competing priorities, or language barriers and cultural differences to consider. But if we are to provide the most effective behaviour support to our students, working closely with their families and carers at home is key. So how can we strengthen our relationships with families and carers and build our confidence as staff members when having, sometimes difficult conversations around behaviour? With the right support, guidance and training.

Assent is not only incredibly important, but is also part of our ethics code! We MUST be assessing for assent and tailoring our programs and interventions to ensure we have assent consistently throughout treatment. The items on the left aren't always a hard no- it's just that with those alone, you run the risk of reinforcing harmful behaviors to the client in the long run. Assent based ABA should be prioritizing the continual assessment of assent, individualization/flexibility of programming, and promotion of self advocacy and support.

These points are so crucial right now. I view Assent based ABA as a "long term" shaping procedure. Be their guide. Build trust; teach effective and appropriate skills that will help the learners be more independent in advocation and setting their own boundaries; and build on these skills to help their understanding of the world around them, by teaching appropriate alternatives and coping skills over time. I've seen the word 'assent' get taken out of context and it lead to Permissive ABA. I've seen the repercussions that stem from that view. Yes, we want the learners to maintain aspects of control - they know what's going on internally way more than we do. What's critical for us as 'guides' is being able to notice those needs, validate how they're feeling, walk through it with them, and model for them the way other skills could be more effective than what they're already doing and the benefits that come with that. Doing something new or different is in itself uncomfortable for anyone; and it may backfire. Mistakes are okay too. But the rewards could be so worthwhile. Take the baby steps. Build upon it. Shape it. Make it your own. ✨
