[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the wrong intervention for kids who have experienced trauma. They should be doing a program that serves kids who need resiliency skills (leader in me isn't it). School counselors were not consulted and are unhappy with the directive.[/quote]

Agreed, leader in me is very much the 90's self esteem crap. It's not what students need[/quote]

Every teacher I know was not happy when it was announced. I think the union put something together opposing it? I'm very much in favor of social emotional learning in schools--the kids really do need it--but this is NOT the program.[/quote]
What makes you say that?  How is this program lacking, and Is there something out there that would be better?[/quote]

Go back and read the original post which talks about how curriculum does not address children who have experienced trauma[/quote]

So what program would address that appropriately and how do we advocate for it?  I'm all for supporting kids who have experienced trauma.[/quote]
