Diving into tougher conversations with a newer DC group. I felt like I did not do a great job setting up the discussion norms like listed in "Not Light But Fire"

Ways to share what we are doing in DC to the classrooms and make a bigger impact. I also don't like that students occasionally missed recess.

Guiding hard conversations virtually

Sometimes it is difficult to navigate discussions in an online/virtual format. We did the best we could. It has also been somewhat of a challenge to keep our virtual learners engaged now that we are all in person w/out hybrid, outside of our Canvas kiddos.

It was challenging to get kids who didn't know each other to really open up on a personal level in a virtual setting.

Being able to offer a space for students to discuss some of the issues that has happened in the last year.

Good experiences sharing panorama data with diversity council and making decisions together. Took these ideas into smaller groups in classrooms and discussed. Discussion and decisions led to changes in school expectations.

The structure of our DC: having 1 rep per 3rd-5th grade classroom, doing some learning together as well as participating in a circle, then having the rep go back and lead the circle with their class.  This helped our work to extend beyond just our DC students.  Next year, we will do more work to expand down into K-2 as well.
