Case Studies: 6 Principles for Using Student-Powered Improvement in Your School
Young people spend years in schools, it is there that they will learn significant involvement or that their voices are inconsequential. I’m not talking about Student government either—though I also support models that encourage disenfranchised youth to be involved. I’m speaking about opportunities for meaningful engagement with adult decision-makers where ideas will be respected and implemented on critical school issues. Having dealt with issues of school violence in a variety of settings, I can honestly say that I have never seen school violence that wasn’t accompanied by adult emotional abuse. When adults are abusive, that last thing they want is to include the voices of the young people in their school. This article looks at multiple case examples of how students can be significantly and meaningfully involved in building a healthy school culture.

This article is not just about narcissists like Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis, it examines individuals like Jack Teixeira who stole federal secrets and released them publicly on a gaming platform to impress his friends. In the article, journalist, Tom Nichols, points to the acronym Intelligence professionals use to understand people who betray their country. The phrase, MICE, reveals the four main reasons people forsake their country or community: money, ideology, compromise, and ego.

Republicans, realizing Anheuser-Busch is a significant donor, are quietly reversing their position on Bud Light
The absolute ridiculousness and hypocrisy of the Far Right is revealed in this article that reveals Republicans currently have no platform except to vilify atypical groups and fix voting systems. Their gender biased attack on Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light beer backfired when they recalled how much money that company donates to their political funds. It’s a sad commentary on Republicans, but also on Anheuser-Busch for where there lobbying money goes. I’d suggest not using their products—not because of the color of the Bud Light label—but because of whom their profits have supported.

The Deeper Meaning of Awareness
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-meaningful-life/202304/the-deeper-meaning-of-awareness
Towards the end of his life, one of my favorite psychologists, Abraham Maslow, suggested that our deepest meaning was found not in self-awareness, but in self-transcendence. What can we do in the institutions that surround our children to enhance both awareness and transcendence? This question is a perfect start to engaging a team of young people in your institution (or family) in a “How-To” series of gatherings.

Cognitive flexibility: the science of how to be successful in business and at work
Cognitive Inelasticity, Resistance, Hardening, Immobility, Stagnation is the opposite of what young people need to thrive in the world today. Teaching cognitive flexibility is best achieved through modeling. Show you are open to change when there is a rational reason for modification. Simple phrases such as, “I hadn’t thought of that,” or, “That’s a new way of seeing things,” are great ways to show young people you are open to new ideas and encouraging discourse from new viewpoints that are well thought-out. We grow what we encourage. Encourage thoughtful discourse and active listening.

29 Physical And Emotional Ways Childhood Trauma Can Show Up In Adults, From Those Have Lived It
https://apple.news/AcGCnO80-SfSMdU_bmujrsQ
We are surrounded by trauma, but not all adversity ends in trauma. When people feel heard and their feeling’s understood (even if their behavior is found unacceptable), the impact of adversity is minimized. “Tell me more about that.” “How do you feel right now?” “You sound…” all of these are statements that open the door to deeper understanding. We need to bear in mind that most people aren’t seeking advice, they are seeking to be understood. Understanding is the key to preventing long-term trauma and PTSD.
