00:00:05.330 --> 00:00:09.350
[Speaker: Christina “Shay” Johnson]
If we ignore social emotional learning in our school environment,

2
00:00:09.350 --> 00:00:10.183
we're in trouble.

3
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:15.910
It's going to be very difficult for learning to take place if we do not address

4
00:00:16.370 --> 00:00:18.710
Why is this student upset all the time?

5
00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:22.070
For many years when students would come into my classroom,

6
00:00:22.070 --> 00:00:25.190
they would show up with, misbehaviors, with attitudes,

7
00:00:25.190 --> 00:00:28.030
with cursing and screaming, and throwing chairs.

8
00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:30.270
And all these feelings were there,

9
00:00:30.290 --> 00:00:33.470
but they didn't know what to do with the feelings and I didn't know what to do

10
00:00:33.470 --> 00:00:36.070
with the feelings, you know. Through the Compassion Schools Project,

11
00:00:36.550 --> 00:00:37.870
I found out what that was.

12
00:00:38.620 --> 00:00:43.230
[Speaker: Meghann Clem Mattingly]
Compassionate Schools Project has changed how I do a lot of things.

13
00:00:43.290 --> 00:00:48.270
How I do almost everything, how I parent, how I 

14
00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:49.140
teach.

15
00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:53.270
[Speaker: Kara Cosby]
It's those moments that come like full circle for me and it's like, yes,

16
00:00:53.300 --> 00:00:57.630
like what I'm teaching is making a difference and it's actually like

17
00:00:57.670 --> 00:00:59.350
transferring out of here. 

18
00:00:59.350 --> 00:01:00.430
[Speaker: Brian Lindsey]
It helped me to talk,

19
00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:05.150
to be able to communicate to them in a calmer way instead of overreacting

20
00:01:05.330 --> 00:01:08.390
for every single little thing. 

21
00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:11.390
[Speaker: Catherine Graber]
Compassionate Schools Project curriculum is what is best for kids.

22
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:16.110
We've done the research and we've evaluated the findings, and we know

23
00:01:16.580 --> 00:01:18.470
that it truly is best for kids.

24
00:01:18.620 --> 00:01:21.110
[Speaker: Meghann Clem Mattingly]
It's giving you permission to

25
00:01:21.110 --> 00:01:24.270
treat your students the way I feel like we've always kind of wanted to,

26
00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:28.910
we just haven't had the permission to do that. 

27
00:01:29.210 --> 00:01:30.550
[Speaker: Lyneice Blakey]
And it shows results in your everyday life.

28
00:01:30.550 --> 00:01:32.670
[Speaker: Christina “Shay” Johnson]
We need social-emotional learning in our schools.

29
00:01:33.770 --> 00:01:38.310
We need trauma-informed care in our schools. What better way,

30
00:01:38.540 --> 00:01:40.230
what better time than right now?

31
00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:44.110
[Speaker Brian Lindsey]
Yeah. CSP and I go hand in hand, Bonnie and Clyde.

32
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:48.590
[Speaker: Kara Johnson]
Compassion is changing kids' lives. You hear me? It

33
00:01:48.650 --> 00:01:48.870
is.
