Teachers often ask what to do about students who play violent video games or watch violent movies. This is a research based intervention that helps students process what they have seen by developing empathy, separating reality from fantasy, and teaching cause and effect.
Children have different executive functioning skills than adults. People with ADHD, traumatic brain injury, or other executive functioning difficulties may not be able to meet the "norms". On demand platforms are also changing how students are able to anticipate the future. Want to know how to increase executive functioning skills in all students? Ask your ESU16 Behavior Mental Health Team. We can provide teachers with research based interventions through consultation or Staff Development Training.
I am so excited for Hannah Boden she will start her new job on Monday at Deb’s Diner in Gothenburg! We are all so very proud of you Hannah and wish you the best in your career! Way to go Hannah!
