🍎 To celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, we're highlighting North Putnam, the award-winning documentary about what it means to be an educator in America today.

North Putnam depicts a year in the life of a rural school district and the community it serves. The film doesn't shy away from depicting the challenges faced by modern education, but is also is primarily a story of hope. Audiences come away feeling energized to develop effective strategies for their own communities and inspired by the administrators, teachers, students and community members of North Putnam, Indiana. This film is excellent for educator discussions and professional development! 📚🎬

The North Putnam Study Guide is designed for grades 7-12, adult/higher ed and teacher PD.

Our Curriculum Guide for The Cup features a hands-on visual arts lesson that introduces students to Mandala Art as a contemplative practice. It promotes calm, focus and reflection.

You can do this lesson yourself with as little as a pen and paper, or you can make it a full classroom art activity.

This lesson is designed for grades 4-12 and can be used by individuals, too. 4/9

Teachers, we're curious: do you ever get your students to do introductory language study on Duolingo or similar apps as extension activities when they are learning about other regions? What grades or ages, what apps, what languages?

#DearTeachers,

We received #complaints for not recognizing the Christian holiday of Yom Saint Francis Ha’Kadosh in our #holiday greetings. Last we checked, this holiday was on Tishrei 19th but in fact the holiday does NOT follow normal dates and follows a #Christian #religious #calendar...

#DearTeachers,

As you may know if you have any students in your class who identify as Christian, they may ask to be excused from school to observe the #Christian #holiday of “Christmas,” more popularly referred to as Yom Christmas.

In addition, you asked if you could buy the cookies. Technically you can but it is a #BakeSale and everyone expects home-baked goods. If you are shomer treyf at home, we can make the school kitchen available to you to bake the cookies, for a small fee.

Thanks for writing.
Shana tova and g’mar chatimah tova!

If you want to bring Moon Cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, or explain to the class about how the rabbit lays eggs for Yom Saint Francis Ha’Kadosh, whatever your family’s Tishrei #tradition is, we would love to hear about it!

…or demonstrate your family’s extra special simanim seder for #RoshHashanah.

Or maybe a demonstration of how to cook bubbe’s famous dairy kugel recipe that you eat for break fast each year?

Use your imagination, be creative!

Want to learn more about the research behind using #DnD/#TTRPGs to build #SEL skills?

I'll be presenting a webinar for #ala_gamert detailing work with #foundry10Ed & #GametoGrow.

Apr. 21, 2023, 11am PT.

Registration is free and open to all!

Great article from #geekwire on the research I did with #foundry10 in partnership with #GameToGrow!

https://www.geekwire.com/2023/can-dungeons-dragons-and-other-tabletop-games-help-youth-build-social-skills/

Great timing with the #DnDMovie!

We explored how #SEL (#socialemotionallearning) can be supported by #TTRPG / #DnD / #DungeonsandDragons using skilled facilitation and the ludic space.

We analyzed #TTRPG / #DnD / #DungeonsandDragons sessions to examine how #TTRPGs can support #SEL (#socialemotionallearning ) skills and found that the game space + facilitators allowed youth to practice complex reflection and conflict resolution.
