Learner Portraits:

• How might I gather the information needed to plan for students interests, strengths, ways of being, knowing and doing?  

• How might I create the conditions for student agency and engagment?  

• How might I work with families, in partnership, to best support students?

Things to Consider:

1. How might you understand how you bring your own identity when recognizing and responding to social emotional well-being?

2. How might you create opportunities where everyone feels they have a voice?

2. How might you understand how check-ins might be triggering or oppressive to some students?

3. How might you validate all emotions to ensure everyone feel seen and heard?

4. How might you use this data to inform actions and change practice?

5. How might you explicitly teach vocabulary and strategies to identify and understand emotions?
