My driving question could impact the world (bold statement I know) if my findings show my question has a true relationship. My driving question is: What is the relationship between socio-emotional journaling, executive function, and ACE? If socio-emotional journaling has a positive impact on executive function then this could benefit students all over the world.
It looks like there has been a lot of research lately on ACEs. It's really a booming topic which is good since many adults and children could benefit. I haven't found too many articles on the connection between ACE and executive function, however there are many articles linking ACEs to other negative health issues. Honestly reading through them is pretty heart wrenching. In my study students will be shown videos (through GoNoodle mostly) about growth mindset, yoga breathing techniques, and mindfulness. After watching the videos students will journal about how they can use the various strategies within their own lives. I still yet to determine assessments to measure students ACEs and executive function. But I know I will being using district benchmark assessments as well as CAASPP data.

I think this is exciting and important work. One of the teachers on my campus used the new effect size formula to evaluate how his students felt in class I think if you did a pre and post survey this may be a way to gather data.

I thought about a student survey. It would have to be very basic, but I like that idea!

I love the connection between social emotional work and meeting student's needs before learning can take place. I am very fascinated by how journaling with students will allow for more learning to take place. I can't wait to follow your findings. You do have a big statement and I like that! This is how the world is changed; one hypothesis at a time. I do believe that journals are very powerful in getting our thoughts, goals and intentions for our direction on the right path...a powerful educational and reflective path.
