This visual reminder from SEL Dallas encourages active listening with an easy-to-remember acronym: EARS—Eye Contact, Attention, Respect, and Silence. Originally shared at the TXPOST 2019 Conference, it’s part of a gallery of SEL and restorative practice tools designed to create safe, supportive learning environments. Ideal for classrooms, out of school time spaces, or community programs, this poster promotes positive communication and respectful engagement.
