"On April 9–10, 2014, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council held a 2-day workshop titled Building Capacity to Reduce Bullying and Its Impact on Youth Across the Lifecourse. The purpose of this workshop was to bring together representatives of key sectors involved in bullying prevention to identify the conceptual models and interventions that have proved effective in decreasing bullying, to examine models that could increase protective factors and mitigate the negative effects of bullying, and to explore the appropriate roles of different groups in preventing bullying. At the workshop, more than 20 presenters reviewed research on bullying prevention and intervention efforts, as well as efforts in related areas of research and practice, implemented in a range of contexts and settings, including: For full post, click on title above or here: http://www.iom.edu/Activities/Children/ReducingBullying/2014-APR-01/workshop-in-brief.aspx

This is an excellent resource to hear students' experiences about social and emotional support in their schools. Highly recommend exploring this site and the related videos as great examples of how we can bridge research to practice in support of youth development.

SEL skills are crucial in the success of every student. The article educates us on the background of SEL. It mentions that SEL is a lot more focused on elementary education and far less on middle schools and high schools. The success seen in the case studies were on schools that worked on communication, collaboration, and determination. The best schools continuously evolve and use multimedia. One thing is very important. SEL is a daily task. Learning and documenting will help us understand more on SEL. Listening is key. Students already discuss SEL without us knowing. That is why establishing a teacher-student relationship will help us grow on SEL.

By Jason Keyser Here is some background about the practice and its prevalence: ___ Q: Where is it legal?
In Texas, where Peterson is accused, punishment is abusive if it causes injury. While a blow that causes a red mark that fades in an hour is not likely to be judged abusive, a blow that leaves a bruise, welt, or swelling, or requires medical attention, could be judged abusive.
One of those states, Alabama, entered the spotlight in September last year when an outraged mother protested over a corporal punishment parental consent form sent home by her child's elementary school. It spelled out a requirement for parents who don't want their children physically disciplined to opt out and inform the principal on an annual basis. A 2009 study by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union found a disproportionate number of students struck by educators were disabled, at 18.8 percent of the total during the 2006-2007 school year.

In a sense, like a fresh box of crayons, it can come in many colors. Better than the latest gadget, it's possible to equip every student with it, and even better, when we do, it can transform our world. It's actually a "muscle" I've been working on all summer. It's empathy." Full post here:

"The UCSF Healthy Environments and Response to Trauma in Schools (HEARTS) project is a comprehensive, multilevel school-based prevention and intervention program for children who have experienced trauma. The goal of UCSF HEARTS is to create school environments that are more trauma-sensitive and supportive of the needs of traumatized children. A main objective of this project is to work collaboratively with SFUSD to promote school success by decreasing trauma-related difficulties and increasing healthy functioning in students within the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) who have experienced complex trauma. Trauma-sensitive school environments will likely benefit not only traumatized children, but also those who are affected by these children, including child peers and school personnel."

By Dr. Dewey Cornell "After every horrific shooting, it is human nature to search for clues that might explain what happened, and how to keep it from happening again. Unfortunately, every case offers a few promising leads that seem to be contradicted by the next case. In the 1990s we had city shootings that generated concern about the stress of “urban war zones,” followed by rural school shootings attributed to the pressures on boys raised in small towns. The 1999 shooting at suburban Columbine High School convinced many people that the underlying problem was bullying. Last year, Adam Lanza’s attack of Sandy Hook Elementary School aroused concern about school safety, and inspired calls to place armed guards in elementary schools. Santa Barbara shooter Elliott Rodger was interviewed by law enforcement officers who mistakenly concluded that he was not dangerous, prompting nationwide calls for better police training.
If we have learned anything, it should be that there is no simple solution to the problem of mass shootings and that we should be wary of quick-fix ideas. It is time to step back and look more objectively at the larger patterns and trends:
1. Yes, gun violence is ubiquitous in the United States. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are approximately 81,300 nonfatal injuries and 31,672 deaths every year involving guns. That works out to about 308 shootings and 86 deaths every day. The cases we hear about in the news are highly selective and not representative"...
