do you have any coping mechanisms you’d recommend for students at an alternative school? We have a lot of meltdowns and apathy and lack of motivation

That’s all the students I currently work with. We do a lot about the stability of the student. If they need a walk, we take a walk. Our classrooms are all therapeutic, it’s about relationships over curriculum. Seek out Brian Mendler. He nails it all.

Always keep some tactile items on hand: stress balls, koosh balls, etc. Has your district/ school worked on implementing restorative practices? I have also established a mood meter with sticky notes for beginning of the hour check in, and that helps me get a quick pulse on the class right from the start of the hour.

I had stress balls but they disappeared. I like the idea of the mood meter, but do the students say stuff to each other ever? We are super sensitive

I am a social worker that provides the school counseling services for elementary students but this skill is for all ages- teach self regulation. Teach them about their brain... amygdala where the fight, flight and freeze.... when teaching this skill, I like to think of myself as a coach... when we teach athletic skills, what does the coach do then we must do the same with these types of skills... it takes time... it takes someone giving cues, practice..... not to expect perfection from a student ever.... google and look for books on teaching self regulation and this is not the same as self control...

Here is the scenario: Have 2 offers from IT MNCs and 1 from Citi. Citi's offer is the highest. Almost 5 lakhs diff in the fixed component.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
