This is an online platform that I have been using to learn more about Mental Health resources for the classroom. Using this webpage from Alberta Health I have been able to expand my knowledge in many relevant areas such as mindfulness, anxiety and strategies to manage, adverse childhood events (ACEs), select mutism, and much more. These are quick "courses" that allow for a brief look into these different areas and allow for further expansion.

I recently took the "Learning Differences" Course through the Friday Institute. This course provided me with a new perspective and changed my mindset about exceptionalities in the classroom. By using the phrase "learning differences" we take away the "tiny boxes" that students get placed in if they aren't "typical." Everyone has learning differences- no two people learn exactly the same. This course was such a great experience, and in finishing I had to come up with a mantra...
My mantra is: Every child can. |
