As I put the final touches on my last assignment for my summer class... I thought I'd jot down some of the tidbits shared this past week while we were in Zoom.
This class was A LOT of work, but it was SO worth it. I am optimistic on so many levels.
Again... just random tidbits that I wrote down
- Shame is not a prerequisite for growth.
- What perspectives are being missed by schools being so white?
- Be curious. Be the detective and not the judge.
- We need to not rely on the emotions of others to heal our own.
- You may never physically see a change in a kid while doing restorative practices, it doesn't mean change isn't happening, it doesn't mean you should stop.
- If a student chooses to not be in Circle physically, that is okay. It shouldn't be a time to do nothing though. Students can be in Circle and pass each time.
- It can take the brain at least 18 minutes to come back from a harmful microaggression. 18 minutes!
- Do not speed through the process of creating class values!
