I have been using TF-CBT to address trauma in children for years. My experience has been that some children do very well with it and are able to openly process their trauma. However, most children do not like to talk about their trauma. On one hand they want to get it off their chest, but they do not like the emotions that go along with discussing it.I typically start counseling with coping skills before diving into trauma narratives so that children are better equipped to handle the strong em

This week I have been visiting third grade classrooms to do lessons on strategies for success on the SOLs. Third grade students will be taking the SOLs for the first time starting May 13th. Some of them shared that they are feeling scared, nervous, worried, excited, etc. The goal of this lesson is to build their confidence and give them strategies to help them do their best. The lesson is titled "You're In Control". We started by watching this video: Next, we moved on to identifying strategies that can help students be successful on the tests. There are many things students can do before, and the day of the test to help them do their best. We talked about being in control of our success. We used the buttons on a remote control as examples for things we can do to stay in control. As a class we came up with lots of ideas and then students picked their top 10 for their remote control. Here is an example of what your student might be bringing home: Here is a list of some strategies the classes came up with: Prepare and study-use your resources Take your time, you have as long as you need Relax and take deep breaths Flag questions you want to go back and review Reread Get enough sleep Eat a good breakfast Take breaks: water, walking, bathroom Circle key words Wear comfortable clothes and dress for success Cross out wrong answers Use your tools remove distractions BE CONFIDENT!

I have been working closely with the literacy support teacher at my school recently. She and I have been co-teaching a Grade 8 Social Studies class and today I'd like to share an activity that she introduced me to: Collaborative Place Mats. This technique is especially helpful at the beginning of a project or inquiry to help groups start to brainstorm about their big idea, topic, or question. Before we began the activity, we talked as a class about what behaviours we wanted to follow as we worked in groups. Students offered ideas, and they were recorded on chart paper. From their criteria, I created a self-assessment checklist for the students to use as a reflection after the activity. Once we had established the guidelines, we explained the place mat activity. Here's how it works: Each table received a piece of chart paper with our project question in the middle. In this case, the question was "How would you provide for people in a community." Each group separated the chart paper into equal sections, one for every member of the group, then we asked the students to write their names in their sections. Students had 2 minutes of silent writing time to think on their own and write their ideas in their section of the place mat. After the 2 minutes were up, the students took turns explaining what they wrote down to the other members of their group. Each student got 1 minute to explain while the other students listened silently. After every student in the group shared his or her ideas, then the other students could ask questions. We gave the groups 5 more minutes for questions and discussion, encouraging them to write more if they had more ideas. We then asked each group to choose 3 or 4 ideas to share out to the whole class. As the groups were sharing out, each student was encouraged to continue writing down ideas they liked on their own place mat. After the groups each shared out, the students had a chance to walk from table to table to see and read the other groups' place mats. This was a great way to unpack a lot of their initial thinking on our topic. It allowed everyone's voice in the group to be heard and validated. Now, as they work their way through the project (creating their own self-sustaining communities), I will have the place mats posted to remind them of their collective ideas. I used this technique in a Middle School Social Studies class, but I really believe it could be differentiated for any grade level in any subject area. Have you used this brainstorming technique (or something like it) before? Let me know what worked/didn't work for you in the comments below.
