#K12 #superintendents take a multifaceted approach to addressing anti-Semitism and other types of discrimination on their campuses. Doug Roberts, Founder and CEO of the Institute for Education Innovation, spoke with WICC radio’s Melissa in the Morning this week to give listeners a better understanding of superintendents’ role in preventing such attacks. https://lnkd.in/eYh5e-Mn   The first approach #education #leaders take is prevention. “These are things we fight hard against as leaders, and we do so by building cultures in our districts where people feel included and welcomed and supported,” he says.   The second is more social-emotional #SEL awareness and funding thanks to initiatives at the federal, state, and local levels. “We were able to build up stronger networks for mental health supports,” Doug says. “If a student feels that they are subject to any sort of anti-Semitic attack, we have to make sure we are checking in with kids."   Third, Doug emphasized that when incidents happen, they need to be teachable moments for the children responsible. Schools can have strong policies against hatred but at the same time attempt to understand why the students acted as they did and address the root causes through education and building better understanding.     In early May, the leaders of some of the largest U.S. public school districts testified before Congress about steps they are taking to address anti-Semitism, and Doug urged Congress to take action too, such as re-upping mental health funding for schools. “Superintendents who went to D.C. made a strong showing for our profession,” he says. “We literally stay up at night thinking about how we can make sure every student in our schools feels safe.”   #ThoughtLeadership #Schools #Inclusion #Respect #TeachableMoments #MentalHealth #Wellbeing

Amongst teachers, parents, and policymakers, there is a common goal: ensuring the well-being and success of our children / students. Yet, one critical aspect often overlooked is the quality of the air they breathe within school walls. Ventilation isn't just about air circulation; it's about creating environments where students can thrive. Adequate ventilation reduces the spread of airborne contaminants, fostering healthier spaces that promote learning and productivity. Unfortunately, many schools lack proper ventilation systems, putting students and staff at risk of respiratory illnesses and hindering academic performance. It's time to prioritize investments in ventilation infrastructure to safeguard our children's health and academic success. By enhancing school ventilation, we can create environments where students feel safe, comfortable, and ready to learn. Let's take action today to ensure that every child has access to a healthy learning environment for a brighter tomorrow. We at WOLF 🐺 recognise this need and I am glad that the CGL-2 edu is such a success on at the Aquatherm in Prague, presented by our partner Wolf Slovenská republika and Wolf Česká republika Together, let's breathe life into learning.
