UConn Neag School of Education

Earlier this month, the Math Teachers' Circle 4 Social Justice (MTC4SJ) hosted an event called Mural Math, which brought together math teachers from across the state to create a mural emphasizing math skills and social justice. 🎨👩‍🏫

MTC4SJ was co-founded by Neag School faculty member Megan Staples and UConn alum Kyle Evans and is affiliated with the National Math Circle Network through the American Institute of Mathematics. The purpose of MTC4SJ is to build capacity and community around teaching mathematics to analyze and promote discourse around issues of social injustice. Artist and math teacher Sacha Kelly led the mural event.

Big feelings follow a predictable arc, writes Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor Sandy Chafouleas. Knowing where a child is in that cycle tells caregivers how to step in and when to step back.

The Escalation Cycle: Your Roadmap Through a Meltdown A child's meltdown isn't random, and neither is the roadmap out. Understanding the escalation cycle can help caregivers recognize how to step in and when to step back.
