Enhancing Student Well-being: Strategies for Successful Evaluation Moments with Socio-Emotional Education

The advance of neuroscience allows us to observe that, with the implementation of socio-emotional education strategies, students experience evaluation moments better
School assessments are crucial moments for measuring academic progress and can generate stress and anxiety among students. Today, with the advancement of neuroscience, we can observe that, if we implement socio-emotional education strategies, students can live these moments better, achieving emotional well-being.
To address this reality, Rafael Bisquerra points out the need to train educators and children from the initial level in socio-emotional education, because it is a lifelong education. In moments where students are taking exams, oral samples and presentations in front of others, it is valuable to anticipate, carry out simulations, practices so that they are safer at that moment and above all put learning as the center and not the evaluation that becomes a sentence but in a space of learning.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide tools to the educational community, so that they not only focus on academic knowledge, but also on the emotional well-being of students. Some teachers and schools are implementing effective strategies and tools to help students manage their emotions during these times.

Among the most notable strategies are:
1. Emotionally supportive environments: consists of creating safe environments, with teachers and staff trained to provide encouragement and calm to students before assessments.
2. Mindfulness practices: The introduction of breathing techniques, meditation or exercises such as going for a walk around the school, laughing at something we have experienced as a group, serve prior to exams as it helps reduce anxiety and promote a better state of mind. calmer and more focused mind.
3. Focus on time management: Students receive guidance on how to effectively manage their time during exams, prioritizing questions and maintaining a consistent pace. Teachers or professors can accompany them by being the guardians of time, mentioning the time that has passed.
4. Affirmation messages: Educators offer words of encouragement and positive reinforcement before assessments, emphasizing the value of effort and dedication over results.
5. Post-examination wellness activities: Relaxing activities are promoted following the tests to relieve the tension accumulated during the exams. You can go out to the patio for a walk or some open space, it is very enriching to play, do physical activity or some other activity that links you with art and different ways of expressing yourself.
6. Open dialogue: Encouraging open communication and constructive feedback following the assessment can help students understand their strengths and areas for improvement, as well as identify strategies for dealing with similar situations in the future.
7. Strategies to deal with the unwanted outcome: Teaching students to cope with adverse outcomes and learn from them is crucial. Focusing on learning and personal growth, rather than grades, can be a powerful tool in building emotional resilience.

These strategies not only seek to reduce stress during testing periods, but also cultivate social-emotional skills that are essential for the overall development of students as they will be useful throughout their lives. Educators and families are key to establishing a supportive environment among students, encouraging collaboration and camaraderie, reducing feelings of isolation and anxiety. Group activities before exams can strengthen social bonds and build trust among classmates. In this way, students are also helped to face exams with a more positive mindset.
Having the support of your peers is essential in the learning process. How valuable it would be if more schools might incorporate socio-emotional education practices transversally with the commitment to the comprehensive well-being of students, recognizing that their emotional health is fundamental for effective, sustainable and meaningful learning.

Derrick Henry’s Future with Tennessee Titans and NFL Uncertain After Frustrating Loss
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-12-18 01:07:00
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry said Sunday he is considering his future in the NFL following a frustrating 19-16 loss to the Houston Texans.
This defeat for the Titans officially ended their hopes of participating in the playoffs.
“Yes, definitely. Today I had this feeling [que ça pourrait bien être la fin de mon séjour avec les Titans] », conceded Henry, who normally prefers to stay in the present moment.
“I was still hoping that we would slip into the playoffs through the back door. But we came out of the race with three games to play… I spent my entire career here. I would have liked to make my exit in force, but that is not the case. »
The Titans will have to make a decision regarding the 29-year-old athlete, who will be a free agent since his four-year, $50 million contract signed in 2020 expires in a few weeks.
Tennessee is estimated to have approximately $92 million in salary cap space this offseason, making Henry’s return possible in 2024.
However, rookie Tyjae Spears’ 410 offensive plays are just one fewer than Henry’s.
“King Henry’s” performance once morest the Texans was his worst as a starter in the NFL: only nine yards rushing on 16 carries.
In his previous five games once morest Houston, he had been more than dominant, averaging 203.6 yards rushing.
“Collectively, we were not good today,” Henry analyzed. They were the better team, credit goes to them. They seemed to have an answer to everything that was offered to them. »
In 14 games during this 2023 schedule, Henry totaled 875 rushing yards on 214 carries. He found the end zone ten times.
His 9,210 career rushing yards represent the second highest total in the franchise (Oilers and Titans) behind Eddie George. Henry’s 88 touchdowns rank first in history.
The Titans will play at home once morest the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16, before visiting the Texans the following week, and completing their season in front of their fans, once morest the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“I will try to give everything during these three remaining matches. I’m going to leave everything on the pitch,” he promised.

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree: Best Christmas Songs to Add to Your Playlist

Top – Christmas songs
Bad Kid – JD McPherson
It’s already been a good ten years since guitarist JD McPherson and his group have dynamited the spirit of rock n’ roll of yesteryear with great panache. Louder than the pontificating boomers who can’t help but tell you at the top of their lungs how much they would have liked to “do Woodstock”, JD McPherson is the leather jackets, the hairspray and the rockabilly that he regrets. Between Little Richard and Eddie Cochran, the rocker’s music is certainly reminiscent of another time, but above all it is imbued with all the enthusiasm and cheeky good humor of a self-respecting polished thug. As a good ambassador of the fifties, JD McPherson, visibly impervious to mothballs, decided in 2018 to bring the good old Christmas album back to the forefront. Socks is the title of the LP where we can hear the formidable Bad Kid, a sumptuous rhythm and blues track with offbeat lyrics where a little dunce goes to settle his score with the big bearded guy who never brings him a present. Christmas maybe, but a bad boy’s Christmas. It’s still Rock ‘n Roll following all….
Ain’t no chimneys in the projects – Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings
The projects refer in North American culture to social housing built in urban areas, the Anglo-Saxon equivalent of suburban HLMs in Europe. They are generally quite out of the way and are associated with high social poverty and a high crime rate. Another feature of the projects, as the great Sharon Jones quickly pointed out, is that they do not have chimneys, which makes Little Santa’s task very difficult. With her group the Dap Kings, the soul singer plays with the somewhat outdated image of Santa Claus distributing gifts through chimneys, emphasizing the extent to which she is the product of an American reality very far from the red light districts. Indeed, Sharon Jones did not know the suburban suburbs, their garages, their gardens and their Christmas trees. However, that did not prevent him from recording with his Dap-Kings an excellent holiday album, It’s a Holiday Soul Party, with funk and soul colors where the, as amusing as it is touching, Ain’t no Chimneys in the projects draws its Pin…
The divine child is born – Siouxsie and the Banshees
Who would have thought that the pale louts with a thousand rebellious locks of the iconic Siouxsie and the Banshees – a band not very present in popular culture but ranked very high in the category “favorite group of your favorite group” – would one day set their sights on an old Catholic Christmas carol. Indeed, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the legendary post-punk group that influenced all of New Wave, alternative rock, trip hop and all gothic teenagers in the world, one day recorded a cover of Il the Divine Child was born. If the choice of standard is surprising, the fact that the group released a successful version is even more so. The cannon voice of Siouxsie Sioux makes us forget her awkward accent and the dark orchestration, imitating military marches, gives everything a surprising majesty. The gap is accentuated by a lunar “clip” where the poor editor obviously had to deal with around four shots put together by the film crew. Plus, there’s Robert Smith from Cure on cymbals. It’s a change from Tino Rossi…
Must be Santa – Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan is one of the rare people who can legitimately be said to have had a thousand lives. In turn beatnik with a nasal voice, face of the American cultural revolution, transmitter of the American musical tradition, crooner, actor, poet, painter; the bard will have crossed generations, roles and eras while remaining as elusive as ever. It is therefore no surprise that in 2009 we saw him release Christmas in the Heart, a Christmas album. In this collection of curious covers of Christmas classics where Dylan drags out his more nasal voice for a penny – cigars and alcohol have been there – the hallucinatory Must Be Santa stands out. Set to a frenzied polka rhythm, this repetitive standard which lists all the attributes of Santa Claus is inseparable from its disturbing and surreal clip where a man tries by all means to escape a Christmas celebration in a large house without anyone don’t really know why. Even when he sings Christmas, Bob Dylan is never really where we expect him to be. Elusive we tell you…
