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

Agreed.

Which child expert decided that was a good idea?

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.

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

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.

a quality SEL curriculum that is free. Instead they picked
an expensive program that doesn’t actually address SEL.

Follow the money. Surely someone had some influence in MCPS. Were there bids foe this contract?

Boom.

We should not impose “dominant white culture” concepts such as a rigid time schedule, hard work, competition, delayed gratification, and the scientific method. We should please reflect and enter into this form all the times we have harmed students in the manner of the “first harm,” when Europeans colonized America. We should be sure to tell students that the tests we are giving them don’t really measure what they know because their race has different ways of knowing.

I used to be a liberal. I just don’t know anymore.

OMG. Seriously?
