https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md In preparation for our next class, briefly describe what you know about restorative justice and trauma sensitive schools. What would you like to know about this topic? en-us 2019-01-02 15:24:54 UTC 2020-08-09 19:16:48 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/348332942 Restorative Justice works to improve areas where wrong-doings or traumatic events occur. It is a community effort to work with everyone involved. The only thing I know about trauma sensitive schools is that it takes a lot of extra support to help the students cope and be successful. I would like to know more about how these schools work and specific things teachers can do to help students who have experienced trauma. ]]> 2019-04-04 01:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/348332942 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/348334774 What I know about trauma sensitive schools is that they understand the impacts of trauma on students, family, and staff. They are in safe, supportive environments where all members of the school community have positive connections and can focus on skills necessary to improve learning. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Restorative Justice in schools are based on the values that emphasize the importance of creating positive relationships and repairing relationships when disciplinary problems have occurred. I would like to know more about what the best ways are to ensure all staff is trauma-informed in a language immersion program. ]]> 2019-04-04 01:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/348334774 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/348610356 Although I do not have a deep understanding of restorative justice and trauma sensitive schools, the elementary school I was placed at during my practicum last semester was a school of trauma. From what I observed, these schools are meant to better support students who have experienced some sort of trauma in their lives. The school where I had my practicum provided professionals such as counselors that were available for students seeking someone to talk to or a place to vent. Overall, I would like to know more details about what it is like to teach at a Restorative Justice or trauma sensitive school. I am not fully familiar with these terms, so I would like more information in general. ]]> 2019-04-04 16:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/348610356 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/348994181 I only have a fairly basic level of understanding on both restorative justice and trauma sensitive schools. What I understand about restorative justice is that it is an approach that focuses on repairing the harm done to students rather than punishing those that caused the harm. It It also encourages those that caused the harm to reflect on what they did and figure out what caused them to have that harmful behavior. What I know about trauma sensitive schools is that they are schools that have a lot of students who have experienced trauma and the school seeks to provide a safe environment for those students where they can overcome their trauma.]]> 2019-04-05 16:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/348994181 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349092135 To be honest, I do not know very much about either of these topics. I know that restorative justice has something to do with both the people who have caused trauma and those who have been affected. As for trauma sensitive schools, I am not sure about the official things that they do, but I am sure they are better equipped to help students who have undergone some type of trauma. However, this topic is very important for me, personally, to learn about because I have seen many of the students in my current practicum placement that have had some very traumatic events happen in their lives and I would love to know more about these two terms and how I can support students in my classroom that have been affected by trauma. ]]> 2019-04-05 21:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349092135 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349186179 I have never heard of restorative justice. As for trauma sensitive schools, I assume those are schools in which adults are trained to deal with trauma and there is training in place for those who wish to learn more. I hope to know how I can personally help my future students who might experience trauma in their lives and a way for me to process it without allowing it to consume me. ]]> 2019-04-06 20:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349186179 wisegirlreads https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349200590 I'm unsure what's meant by the term "restorative justice", and have not heard it until now. I imagine that trauma sensitive schools have more resources or programs for students that have been affected by trauma. I know that in my school district, the schools shared a grief counselor that helped the students after troubling events have occurred. Unfortunately, a friend of mine committed suicide in high school. The grief councilor went to each of his classes, offering his counseling services, and he stayed in the office of the school for about three days total.]]> 2019-04-07 00:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349200590 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349277832 I am unfamiliar with the term restorative justice. However, last semester I did my practicum at a school that was trauma sensitive. Many of the students in my class and at the school experienced very traumatic events in their home lives. These experiences always impacted their learning, and there were multiple behavioral issues. While I would easily become saddened when these situations happened, I was also able to learn a lot with how the teacher dealt with these students' experiences and how she became an advocate for them. It would like to know more about how prevalent trama sensitive schools are and what kind of resources distrcits provide these schools.]]> 2019-04-07 18:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349277832 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349306472 I am unfamiliar with restorative justice and trauma sensitive schools. I can make an assumption based on the words that build the terms.  I could assume that  restorative justice might be related to bringing justice to those who need it after a negative experience. I can also assume that trauma sensitive schools are schools set up with a special support system for those who need it. I would like to know what both terms mean and how they play a role within our community. ]]> 2019-04-07 22:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349306472 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349690164 I am not familiar with the concept of restorative justice. Last semester, my practicum placement was in a trauma based school. Through this experience about school I learned some things about trauma sensitive schools and from my mentor teacher I learned a lot about how to deal with children who are from a trauma sensitive environment, however, I would still like to learn more.  Through my experience at this school, the thing that stuck with me most about a trauma sensitive school is how important a good relationship with your students is. There was constant support from the teachers to the students and they were always extremely supportive and loving toward the students. I would like to know the most important things about being a teacher in a trauma sensitive school. ]]> 2019-04-08 19:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349690164 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349713770 I am not familiar with restorative justice, though I have heard the term in the past. As for trauma sensitive schools, I have heard schools in certain districts classified as "trauma sensitive," but I haven't had the opportunity to experience teaching in one. I am VERY interested in this topic and these types of schools, because I want to teach in a PDS school in a low SES environment. I know that is not always the criteria for a trauma sensitive school, but oftentimes they coincide, I believe. I would like to know about any experience you have had and what would be your advice to future teachers or professionals in this setting. I would also like to know about your relationships with the students, and the proper way to handle such situations. In this type of environment, I have heard that it is difficult for teachers, especially new teachers, to not be emotionally overwhelmed and take on more than they need to. Overall, I am eager to learn more about this subject.

I do know a small amount about trauma because of the program I work for. The preschool I work for likes to prepare the employees and families for what could happen during a child’s trauma to an incident that might happen in their lives. Something very specific for example can be divorce. I personally have worked with children who suffer from trauma because of this incident. I feel that they prepare us as best as the can for what to expect. I would like to learn how to handle situations like this better especially in a classroom of my own. I also would like to know what classification is in order to be considered a trauma sensitive school. Anything I can learn about restorative justice would be helpful since I know little about it. ]]> 2019-04-09 02:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349776343 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349778243 I am not familiar with restorative justice. I also do not know much about trauma sensitive schools but I assume it is a school that is well trained on helping others with trauma. I would like to know about restorative justice and what this is. I would also like to know more about what a trauma sensitive school looks like. I would like to learn about how I can help my students in a trauma sensitive school. It would also be important to learn about how to help students through trauma even though it may not be in a trauma sensitive school.]]> 2019-04-09 03:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/349778243 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350128773 Restorative justice is something I am not familiar with. I may have heard of it before, but I do not really know anything about it. However, I have heard quite a bit about trauma sensitive schools. My mom is a teacher where I am from, and so I often hear a lot about what the school district is doing and the training the teachers go through. Recently the teachers have been doing what they call "Trauma Informed" training, trying to prepare them to help students in the district, which might be considered trauma sensitive, and the trauma they go through. It has really interested me, so I am looking forward to learning more about trauma sensitive schools. I hope to also learn more about restorative justice and how both relate to my future as an educator and how I can best help my students.]]> 2019-04-09 20:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350128773 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350151581 I know a little about trauma sensitive schools because of my job I have as a substitute teacher. I had to go through training in order to do this where we talked a lot about trauma students might be going through, or have gone through in the past. This opened my mind a lot to the unfortunate struggles students have to go through. I have also learned some things about trauma sensitive schools through my practicum experience this semester. Many of my students have many struggles they are going through that we have to be aware of in order to properly care for them. I would still like to learn a lot more about trauma sensitive schools, and I would like to learn everything about restorative justice. ]]> 2019-04-09 22:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350151581 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350171538 To be honest, I am not familiar with both of them. However, let me guess what  means about two words, I think restorative justice is a way to justice and response to a crime and then organize the meeting between victim and officers, and then understand why victim do bad things and take responsibility of their behavior. For trauma sensitive schools, I think it a place for students and parents, and then also has professional people to deal with the problems between students or students with other people, then can pay attention to those students mood development. For me, when I can learn two words, I want to know what means about these two words and why will have that ,how schools or social people support two things?]]> 2019-04-10 00:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350171538 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350190117 I will tell you that I have not heard about restorative justice and trauma sensitive schools. I would love to learn about both of them and how they will be helpful to me in my future classroom. After reading few of the things below I gathered a little bit about what trauma sensitive schools might be and how adults are trained to handle situations when a student might be going through some hard time. I would like to know more detail about this topic for sure and be prepared for the future classroom.

I am also not familiar with trauma-sensitive schools. I would like to learn more about trauma-sensitive schools because I would like to see if that is an environment that I would like to teach in. Also, I would like to see if it closely resembles our PDS program in the School of Education. Finally, I want to know what makes a trauma-sensitive labeled as such. ]]> 2019-04-10 01:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350191056 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350200280 I have never heard such thing as a trauma sensitive school. If I were to take a guess of what it is, I would think it might be a school that students who have experienced some sort of trauma go to and the teachers at the school focus on ways to cope with trauma or help the students deal with the trauma they have experienced. I would like to learn more about what trauma sensitive schools are and how teachers are prepared to work in these schools. With restorative justice, I have not heard this term before. I would assume that it is a way of restoring or repairing parts of a traumatic experience for someone or finding justice for a person who has experienced trauma. Though since I do not know exactly what restorative justice it, I would like to learn more about what restorative justice is and how restorative justice is used in the classroom. I also would like to know in what situations teachers would need to use restorative justice in their classroom. ]]> 2019-04-10 02:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350200280 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350211948  I never heard restorative justice and trauma sensitive schools before. I think this school is providing special services to students who have psychological trauma. I would like to know about the structure and purpose of the schools. And how could it help students recover mental tone? What kind of role do the schools play in the whole educational system? ]]> 2019-04-10 03:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350211948 samantha03a https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350394232 I have only heard of trauma sensitive schools because of the practicum my peers and I were placed in last semester. We were at a school that was specifically made for trauma students. It is only about 3 years old and it combined 3 trauma sensitive elementary schools. The state got a huge grant to build this school and about 95% of the students qualify for free and reduced lunch. They also all get free breakfast in the mornings. I had never seen an elementary school where snacks are always available to the students. It made me realize how hungry some of these children were when coming to school due to the lack of nutrition and food that they get at home. I know that every student, no matter what school you are at, comes from a different background and you can never assume what their life is like. However, after being at this school and with these children I have learned that the teacher truly does have to be an advocate for these students, especially when they are so young. The students may also have difficulty following along with rules and lessons in class because they may not be used to the structured setting at home. There are many considerations that are to be made when working at a trauma sensitive school and I am excited to learn more about Ms. Potters experiences and what she can tell us for our future. I have never heard of restorative justice and I would like to know more about that as well]]> 2019-04-10 15:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350394232 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350435401 Last semester, the Jayhawk elementary ed cadre was at a trauma sensitive school in Topeka for practicum. I was in a kindergarten classroom and I was lucky enough to have a mentor teacher who gave my teaching partners and me a lot of information about our students and what they and their families have gone through, which helped me understand some of their behaviors and helped me empathize with them. For a number of these students, school is their safe place. My mentor teacher did a great job of making it clear to me that forming meaningful relationships with students in a school like this one is incredibly important, because school is sometimes the only place where these students feel loved and important. I came from a very privileged home and community, so seeing and hearing the things these children go through on a daily basis broke my heart, but it also inspired me to work extra hard to teach them and be there for them. 
As for restorative justice, I have never heard of this term before. I am intrigued and would love to learn more about what it is and how it pertains to education.  ]]> 2019-04-10 16:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350435401 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350438496 Last semester for fall practicum I was placed at a trauma sensitive school. I was in a kindergarten class with an amazing teacher. Our mentor teacher loved and cared for her students in the most pure way. She educated us on what some students were going through. This honestly broke my heart hearing the trauma and pain the kindergartners were going through. This also helped me understand why the students behaved the way they did. A lot of these students had attention seeking behavior because they were not getting the attention they needed at home. School was a safe place for these students to get away from what was happening at homes.]]> 2019-04-10 16:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350438496 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350441962 Last semester I was placed in a trauma sensitive school in a first grade classroom. My teacher had a special education minor so many of the students who were low academically for their grade or who had severe behavioral issues were placed in our classroom. Our classroom had a full time para professional and when I first got assigned this class i was nervous for what it was going to be like. I learned what a lot of the kids had been through and what they were going through and learned how they just needed extra love and support every day. This was one of the most fun and eye opening experiences I have had and I really am glad I got this experience. Restorative justice is something that I have not learned a lot about before but I would be very interested in learning more about this rehabilitation process. ]]> 2019-04-10 16:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350441962 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350449404 I have never heard of the terms restorative justice or trauma sensitive schools. I am curious to learn more about these and why they are labeled the way that they are. I wonder if trauma sensitive schools has something to do with the location. Schools in the inner city may be labeled as trauma sensitive but I could be wrong! I'm anxious to learn more about these terms. ]]> 2019-04-10 16:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350449404 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350480603 I was actually a Para at a trauma sensitive school and it was definitely different from what I remember as being in elementary school. A large amount of the school had gone through some sort of trauma at a young age. Many of the students had parents who had either used drugs or are in trouble for drugs. It was a great school to work in though. I got to help children who needed it and when they succeeded at something they always got so happy. I made many connections with my students and the experience was amazing. ]]> 2019-04-10 17:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350480603 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350513325 I have never heard of either one of the terms. I am excited to go to class in order to learn about these two things. I am honestly surprised I have not heard about either one of these up until now, especially since it sounds like a program that more urban school may have. I am also from a very, very rural school, I actually did not even know that my school had a psychologist until after I graduated. So in my life, up until this point, I have not had the expertise or connections with trauma in the school system. I cannot wait to finally learn about something totally unheard of that I might need in the future!]]> 2019-04-10 18:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350513325 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350514078 I look forward to our next class because I honestly do not know much about restorative justice and trauma sensitive schools. I do not know what restorative justice is at all, so I am excited to see what this is about. I do know a little about trauma sensitive schools because I have had a few friends work in these type of schools. But what I know is just how my friends felt working in these schools, I do not know the basics or the type of goals these schools set. So I am interested in learning about these schools because I think trauma is a very important topic for teachers to focus on and I believe it is not focused on enough.]]> 2019-04-10 18:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350514078 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350522973 I have never heard of either trauma sensitive schools or restorative justice schools. I think they seem very interesting and I am excited to see what they are all about. Since I have not heard about them I am assuming they are not very common. I think that it will be beneficial for me as a preservice teacher to know more about then because there is probably a need for the
m and I hope that by learning about them I would be able to implement new technics into my own classroom one day. ]]> 2019-04-10 19:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350522973 https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350538240 I have not heard of these terms in a specific context but I think they apply to a lot of scenarios in classrooms and in school environments. As someone who is going to specialize in special education I think trauma is a common theme among students in a special education setting so this will be a very important concept to learn about. I think that with today’s political climate, trauma is becoming more prevalent and more common so trauma sensitive teaching and schools is a key aspect of being able to help students in the best and most appropriate way. ]]> 2019-04-10 19:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/drpottersdsu/cwui89z2l7md/wish/350538240
