[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 3 days of training I cannot be more clear…this is not a social emotional learning curriculum. It is another “everyone is a stakeholder in decisions “ approach to “community building”. I give it 3-5 years of a wide range of buy in before it fizzles out or is replaced with something else.

[b]Kids should not be told they are stakeholders[/b]. They need to first learn discipline, restraint, and respect. Social emotional learning would focus on virtues like truthfulness, perseverance, kindness, etc. [/quote]

Agreed.

Which child expert decided that was a good idea?[/quote]

This program isn’t education based. It’s from the corporate world. 
Teachers needed training in trauma informed practice and we are getting a corporate sales pitch. 
It’s sad. 
I will be spending my time during training today looking up more on trauma informed practice.[/quote]

I’ve been spending this waste of my life doing the other trainings in the background. [b]No one even turns their cameras on in breakout rooms. We all know this is a joke.[/quote][/b]

I'm in the training today as well (on a break at the moment). I agree that this is not going to address the SEL we need for our students. We were asked to turn on cameras while in breakout rooms. Our leader today is very energetic and is getting a lot of people to participate. He's in and out of all of the breakout rooms. Keeping your camera off in a breakout room is just rude. We're not onboard with this program, but in my particular session we all turn on our cameras when we are put into breakout rooms. It's just the right thing to do.[/quote]
