I enjoyed hosting another great group of educators the other day!! I LOVE sharing the importance of developing positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues using Restorative Practices!! This is my PASSION! ππ It was an awesome time of listening, learning & reflection!! Our students are looking to us to model what it looks like to manage anger and disappointment! How can we say βStop yellingβ or βspeak in a calm toneβ... when we are yelling and NOT speaking in a calm tone?? Students also need frank discussions about how their behavior affects the community. (We need this as adults, also)! When I walk into a room, I have the ability to bring LIGHT and to SHINE or bring every hurt that has ever happened to me and put it on display! I CHOOSE TO SHINE!! πβοΈ (Even on rainy days)! βοΈπ~ DPB
