Crying kids can’t learn to spell: How to attend to the socio-emotional needs of your students and still teach everything else
Phonics. Phonemic awareness. Comprehension strategies. Teachers, in the classroom or in an office, know what they need to teach to help their children succeed in school. But, research tells us, students need to be ready to learn. Stress decreases the receptiveness of brains to learning. How does a busy teacher fit in support of a student’s emotional life and still meet all the academic demands? This presentation will present the science behind attachment teaching and the power gained from attending to the socio-emotional needs of students. Most importantly, it will provide practical lessons to integrate socio-emotional attunement with reading and writing goals.
