Changing How Educators See Negative Experiences in the Classroom

https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/52402/changing-how-educators-see-negative-experiences-in-the-classroom

An easy first step is to recognize and mindfully attend to positive emotional experiences in your classroom and at home. Evolution selected for a negative attribution bias that makes us tend to dwell on the negative and ignore the positive. During a typical day, 10 great things may have happened and one horrible thing. When we get home and our partner asks us how our day went, typically we focus on the one horrible thing, forgetting about the 10 great things.

School Safety Training Program Founder On Preparing For A Shooting

https://www.npr.org/2018/02/15/585971983/school-safety-training-program-founder-on-preparing-for-a-shooting

INSKEEP: So if you have that advantage of numbers, are you saying that students and teachers should flee in every direction, or are you suggesting confronting the shooter in some way?

CRANE: I'm suggesting you teach them to do both, and you let them make that decision. You know, it - there's two ways you will survive these events if contact is made with a determined killer. You will either find a way to remove yourself from that danger area, or the good guys will take back control, and we will render the danger area no longer dangerous. It doesn't take a good guy with a gun to beat a bad guy with a gun.

Civil Rights Commission Takes on Issue of Minorities in Special Education

http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/speced/2017/12/us_civil_rights_commission_disproportionality.html?utm_content=buffer5e8c2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights—an agency with no policymaking power but with a potent megaphone—took on the complex issue of minority students and special education at a day-long session Friday. 

The name of the session, "The School-to-Prison Pipeline: The Intersections of Students of Color with Disabilities," offered a clue to the stance of some panelists who spoke before the bipartisan commission: That too many students with disabilities are being placed in special education, and once there, they face punitive discipline that puts many of them on a rocky path to incarceration.
