https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962 Write your last name, first name en-us 2017-03-18 14:30:31 UTC 2017-03-23 00:59:14 UTC hello@padlet.com pon006139 https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161940216 Unfortunately, we have parent/teacher conferences at RT tonight and I could not be in class. 
:(
However, as I was reading through many of Kathy's materials I gained some insight and started thinking about how I want to implement and "frontload" some activities in my class. 
One question that I had during the first class that I would be interested in learning about is, the statistics/success rates related to RJ being used in the criminal justice system with perpetrators with mental illnesses. (Sorry, not related to my classroom- but something I wonder about.) I really don't have another question at this point.
As far as a connection-- After reading the scenarios for the "Do Now Activity"-- I was reminded of how many times over my years as a teacher that I witnessed teachers reacting to kids like the teacher did in Scenario A.]]> 2017-03-22 18:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161940216 https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161997983 3 things: I learned the structure to smoothly facilitate a circle, the data is really helpful to support how beneficial RJ is, I learned that students love doing circles. 
2 questions: Good ways to share with staff? Have you had a student break ground rules more than once in one circle and what would you do? 
1 connection: When practicing I was able to connect with how beneficial RJ is because I enjoyed the process. ]]> 2017-03-23 00:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161997983 https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161998010 Three things I learned tonight:
- how to get students to answer
- how to facilitate a proper restorative circle
- how much change RJ can make

Two questions I have:
- how to cross RJ from general education setting to SPED
- learning how to have the RJ conversations with students

One connection I made:
- I already do a lot of RJ in my classroom. Not quite to the extent of what we have learned, but I feel like it is a necessity in my classroom. ]]> 2017-03-23 00:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161998010 https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161998057 3 things I learned tonight: The procedures for running a restorative circle, more on how to run a restorative circle, and got some cool data on how effective RJ is.
2 questions I have: How will I use this with my students? How can I be a more restorative teacher in my practices as a content teacher?
1 connection I made is that I already so some RJ strategies in my class. (I often ask my students to share one thing from a multi-station, multi-day activity as a closure)]]> 2017-03-23 00:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161998057 hel007299 https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161998074 I was introduced to and learned how to conduct a restorative circle.  I became aware of some positive data that relates to the use of RJ on a school-wide basis.  I learned that there might well be a good many things I might be able to implement with RJ in my classroom.  

How do I ensure I am neutral during these circles?  What are reminders of norms that I can give myself?

How do I introduce this, this late in the year, and still get to a point where it will help students?

I have connected RJ to Magic Circle which was a similar program from early in my career.

-Different ways to structure circles for community building or academics
-How to manage students within the restorative circle

2 questions I have:

1 connection I made is that my school could use restorative justice within our culture.

2 Questions I have are how do I get my school on board, and can I get people to give up curriculum time for RJ time.
1 connection I made is that I can use this in my classroom without any changes. I can have students do this when they write and share.]]> 2017-03-23 00:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161998180 https://padlet.com/kzaleski/lraoeu6ic962/wish/161998205 1 - how to run a connection circle
