Residents in New York City who are accused of being squatters can qualify for free legal assistance, a housing lawyer told Newsweek on Wednesday. Squatting has emerged as a top-button issue in recent weeks after incidents in New York captured headlines creating the impression of a crisis. However, experts have pointed out that cases of people establishing residency in properties they have no legal right to are rare. Asked if someone accused of being a squatter with an eviction hearing in New York City qualifies for free legal assistance, Ami Shah, deputy director of citywide housing at Legal Services NYC, said: "Yeah, they do." "That language is very laden and we're seeing more and more landlords claim people are squatters and as soon as you look at the facts and the law around their possession of that apartment, in fact, they do have legal rights," she added. A City Hall spokesperson clarified the position for Newsweek, emphasizing that only lawful tenants qualify for the assistance. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

Today's guest on The EdTech Startup Show Podcast is Sara Potler LaHayne, Founder and CEO of Move This World.

The learning program has impacted over a million students across 30 states for more than 13 years. In addition to projecting the strategic and creative vision and direction of the organization, Sara is an advocate for mental health and social-emotional wellness for all children. Move This World was largely conceived out of Sara's own experiences growing up. It is this personal quality that defines the program's unique approach to learning: Parents and teachers are encouraged to practice Social-Emotional Learning in their own lives; the program is continuously updated as it adapts to the ever-evolving realities of its end-users; and SEL is taught to become an ubiquitous part of schools' learning cultures. Questions for Sara Potler LaHayne What is the vision-mission of Move This World? How does Sara help teachers with Social-Emotional Learning? How did Sara's background lead to the founding of Move This World? What can teachers do to incorporate SEL in remote or hybrid learning environments amid social distancing measures?

How can a school make SEL an ubiquitous part of their learning culture? What can teachers and parents do to prepare their children to go back to school? What has Sara learned through the years about the efficacy of an SEL program? Highlights from the conversation Those who apply SEL strategies in their own lives become more effective teachers in the classroom Beyond allying yourself with mentors and advisors in your subject matter, work with builders and creators who have taken their ideas and made them real COVID-19 made parents and teachers realize that resources and exercises must be as easy as possible to use Two of the key components of the Move This World approach is the validation of thoughts, perspectives, and experiences; and making time for processing and reflection.
