I absolutely love this article ! reason being is , we really don't talk about the emotional wellbeing that students have , even the teachers !, we are all at a time when we are thinking about so many things its so hard to focus on school. People are out here dying and some teachers would still expect you to write a 5 page paper at midnight tomorrow. This articles talks about what discussions we should be having because its not all about school work , we should all come together and support each other and try to help much as possible , be open and express the feelings you may have , everyone is going through tough times right now.

"With increasing frequency, social-emotional learning (SEL) is getting renewed attention — in research, in policy and in the classroom. It’s not a new concept, so why is there new interest? Education stakeholders increasingly realize that it prepares students not only for today, but also for tomorrow.
"There are some job skills that transcend industry: deep self-knowledge, emotional regulation and empathy and perspective taking. These three areas of social-emotional skills provide a strong foundation upon which people can grow specific functional skills and knowledge. In addition to core academic knowledge, how might we make these skills central to teaching and learning?" Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa)

I was a little skeptical on this. However, if you think about it-it makes sense. All of this technology used for social media is impeding students from learning to critically think, collaborate, empathize-among other things. Helping them learn to work closely with others in a school environment will help them learn to engage well with others at work and in society as a whole when they are adults.

"Our window of opportunity to touch our students’ lives closes faster than we realize. Never let an opportunity to change a child’s life pass you by. I hope that we wind summer down we all start looking for those windows and can be that change for some student…socks be darned."
Jim Lerman's insight:
A great story that has little to do with tech and education, but everything to do with what teachers and schools can do. It's definitely worth the 5 minutes it takes to read it.

"Mr. Gray, an educator in his second year of teaching in New York City wrote out his resignation letter and left it on his desk. As a final measure, he chose to attend a Renewal and Restoration Retreat for Educators provided by The Inner Resilience Program – a nonprofit organization started right after September 11, 2001 to help teachers in Lower Manhattan begin to heal and recover from the tragic events of that day. He felt he had nothing to lose. “I was so tired of trying to balance the pressures I was feeling, I wanted to quit. After the retreat I went home and ripped up the resignation letter sitting on my desk. I found that place in me that knows why I wanted to be a teacher in the first place.”
"What allows an educator to stay strong, creative and connected to purpose amidst adversity while another to burn out and leave the field of education altogether? What inner resources do students, teachers and administrators draw upon in order to respond to moments of profound crisis and uncertainty in schools? Are schools preparing our children for a life of tests or the tests of life? For more than a decade, these are the questions the Inner Resilience Program has been grappling with. Mr. Gray, one of many educators in this country was teetering on the edge of burnout and happened to attend one of our retreats at the right time for him. But every day several gifted teachers leave the field of education due to the immense stresses they face. In fact, the modal year of experience in the American teaching force today is only one year – and the average years of experience have dropped by over 30% in the last decade."
