• Check Your B’s: Map & Monitor How Stress Shows Up

  • This resource is great for teachers and students alike.  Throughout your day, notice your 3B’s – how your brain, body, and behavior shift when you are relaxed and when you are stressed.

• Give and Receive Feedback to Strengthen Staff Connectedness

  • Feedback is any information you receive about yourself. It can be formal or informal, direct or vague, solicited or very unwelcomed. Berne Brown stated “How do we stay aligned with our values while receiving feedback, regardless of the skill of the person delivering it?”  This toolkit provides activities to improve one’s skills of receiving and giving feedback.

  • BOOST Feedback Model

    • Before delivering feedback, look through the BOOST Model. In giving effective feedback, it is helpful to plan what you will say and how you will say it.
