👍 Kudos to Sonoma State University for promoting #neurodiversity #inclusion! [For more neurodiversity-friendly #colleges and #universities, see the Top College Consultants database at https://lnkd.in/eqGBAa9.] Krista Sherer writes: #Disability Services for Students (DSS) facilitated a panel discussion titled "Nothing About Us, Without Us" this spring with students identifying as #neurodiverse to share about their academic experience at the university. Governor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation declaring March 2024 Developmental #Disabilities Awareness Month, and SSU’s DSS department hosted events to continue developing an #inclusive campus community. “Neurodiversity is a fantastic term for encompassing the many different ways the brain can exist,” said Shannon McEntee, a senior at SSU who is a Psychology and Biology major. Senior Disability Management Advisor Christy Giambastiani led the discussion on Zoom with four neurodiverse students. The panel covered numerous topics, such as how SSU can support #neurodivergent students, the challenges of being a neurodiverse student, and what has helped students in their educational journey.  McEntee emphasized that one crucial way Sonoma State can assist neurodiverse students is for professors to be more proactive and asking students to check in with them if they have learning differences.  “When you are a disabilities services student, you often have to be your own advocate, so if professors could reach out more, or communicate early on that they are here to support us with DSS, that would be good,” she said.

🚨New report alert! 🌟 Pulse of Change: Exploring Educational Access in California Women's Prisons 🌟 The Participatory Action Research Leadership Program (PARLP), led by Unapologetically HERS and our friend and partner Aminah Elster, explored the educational experiences and barriers faced by people who are incarcerated in California women’s prisons. Key insights include: ➡️ 51% completed high school, 16% GED, 12% vocational certificates, 9% associate degrees. ➡️ 44% engaged in higher education, with 91% wanting to pursue further studies (24% bachelor’s, 19% master’s). ➡️ Barriers include lack of materials and study spaces, scheduling conflicts, and lack of academic and psychological support. 🔗 Read the full report: https://hubs.la/Q02Hszjv0 #NormalizeOpportunity #PrisonEducation #Equity

When we are in pain, it’s sometimes hard to accept that there’s nothing we can do to change things. In the context of Kübler-Ross' five stages of grief, bargaining for survivors of domestic, family, and sexual violence represents a phase marked by a complex mix of emotions and thoughts. The bargaining stage is typically the third in the model and often manifests as survivors seek some measure of control to avoid or mitigate the pain and reality of the traumatic experience.⁠ ⁠ In our latest blog we dive into the part that bargaining plays in the healing journey. ⁠ ⁠ To read more: https://lnkd.in/guUZz3PF #adamasnexus #supportdomesticabusesurvivors #abuseawareness #abusesurvivor #domesticviolence #familyviolence #socialpurpose #community #sexualabuse #sexualharrassment #domesticandfamilyviolence #endgenderedviolence #workplaceculture #womenempowerment #metoo #enoughisenough #domesticviolenceawareness #impact #leadership #influence #innovation #nfp #imb

First do no harm: How teachers support or undermine children's self-regulation Growing dissatisfaction with high-stakes uses of global early childhood classroom quality assessments has motivated efforts to identify more specific features of teacher-child interactions that support developmental growth. The current study seeks to identify specific, observable teacher behaviors that, over and above such global assessments, either promote or compromise gains in self-regulation skills across the pre-kindergarten (pre-k) year. We looked specifically at teachers’ scaffolding of peer interaction, frequency of behavior disapprovals, and reliance on punitive behavior management strategies. We also examined whether children's fall self-regulation scores moderated associations between these teacher behaviors and children's self-regulation development over the pre-k year. The sample consisted of 1020 low-income 4-year-olds enrolled in a “mixed-delivery” (various program auspices and locations) pre-k program in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Controlling for global pre-k quality, children whose teachers relied to a larger extent on disapproving and punitive behavior management strategies exhibited smaller gains in self-regulation across multiple assessment methods. Modest evidence emerged in support of moderation by initial self-regulation skills. These findings point to the feasibility of identifying practical, observable, and specific teacher behaviors that affect early development and to the need for quality improvement efforts that include an explicit focus on eliminating problematic teacher behaviors. https://lnkd.in/gdJRHEwx (Phillips, Deborah A; Hutchison, Jane; Martin, Anne; Castle, Sherri; Johnson, Anna D)
