It gives us a great place to start from for a next meeting, where we will invite an expanded group to go a little deeper in developing an action plan. ]]> 2019-02-23 14:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334440639 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334440994 2019-02-23 14:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334440994 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334441298 Getting people offsite for this type of creative exercise is important]]> 2019-02-23 14:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334441298 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334441608 On Feb. 25th I provided a report back to our Executive team and we had a discussion about next steps for the department.]]> 2019-02-23 14:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334441608 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334442093 People shared why a restorative approach is important to them and to the department. This was a great way to get started and gave them a head start for the P2P exercise.]]> 2019-02-23 14:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334442093 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334446935 2019-02-23 15:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334446935 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334450433 All participants except me have had restorative training, so it was intimidating leading a group on a topic that is their area of expertise.]]> 2019-02-23 15:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334450433 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334450736 This was a risky exercise because it was completely up to participants to identify other DCS work, restorative practices, and how it all fits together. It also required them to interact with one another to sort the ideas to come to a group consensus. ]]> 2019-02-23 15:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334450736 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334451661 The risk with this exercise was in getting started by really nailing the purpose, which is why I had them answer these questions earlier in another exercise. Then the task was to keep groups focused on answering each question, encourage them to thrown any and all ideas out there, and get them to pare it down to one main idea when reporting back.]]> 2019-02-23 15:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334451661 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334452283 It was tricky to read the room and assess when people needed more or less time for an exercise, if they understood instructions, and if the work was resonating. Because the mapping exercise took so long, I opted to let the Troika Consulting go in order to come back to the map again after the P2P discussion. I also decided the group was not diverse enough to conduct a good discussion on the merits of keeping the 'restorative' language vs. using alternative language such as 'relational.' ]]> 2019-02-23 16:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334452283 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334454368 2019-02-23 16:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/334454368 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/335453641 Words used by participants to describe the importance of a restorative approach]]> 2019-02-26 16:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/335453641 valbellefontaine https://padlet.com/valbellefontaine/6d3ltfp77fhu/wish/335545331 I met with two government colleagues who were involved with major cultural shifts in two other departments within the past 5 years.
