Restorative Justice at Monroe by Kimberlee Hill https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v en-us 2021-01-04 21:27:17 UTC 2025-12-20 16:37:35 UTC hello@padlet.com How could restorative justice/practices be helpful for our students and teachers? AND give us one of your WHAT IF...questions that came up in your reading or in your group. kfhill2 https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1577129917 2021-06-01 17:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1577129917 Because students need to be heard and know that we care about them. They need to learn problem-solving and develop empathy for others' situations. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585618954 2021-06-04 15:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585618954 https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585619723 Many of our kids are not heard. They need a safe environment to voice their concerns. They need adults to guide them as they learn how to make things right/repair harm when a mistake is made. We have the ability to the create community that many of our kids are longing to be a part of...

WHAT IF Question: what if I am struggling with being frustrated with a child, how do I reset and remind myself to speak kindly and show respect in the heat of the moment?

]]> 2021-06-04 15:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585619723 It would help us educate the whole child. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585628998 2021-06-04 16:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585628998 https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585630512 Many of the students at Monroe need a safe place to learn behavior skills in order to grow their emotional intelligence.

What if the problems are bigger than the work we do in the circle?





]]> 2021-06-04 16:01:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585630512 How could restorative justice/ practice help our school? https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585638643       It will help students know that they have a voice and that they are heard! Everyone needs to feel heard!

What if question....
What if the circle gets heated? do you stop it then and there, do you reteach the expectations of respect? ]]> 2021-06-04 16:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585638643 That we will have more of a classroom and school community. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585638992 2021-06-04 16:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585638992 A. Restorative Justice would decrease the amount of discipline problems at Monroe, so students would be more open to learning. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585639088 B. What if emotions get out of control in a classroom circle like they did with our faculty a couple of years ago? How do we handle something like that? How to we get kids to willingly share and listen to each other rather than attacking each other?]]> 2021-06-04 16:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585639088 It is a way to help our students be successful in life. It will help them learn better. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585639310 What if as a faculty we restore our relationships so that we can start the new school year ready to teach our students that we can do it too.


]]> 2021-06-04 16:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585639310 I think that this is great step to creating a more cooperative and safe learning environment! This will trickle down to students' academic achievement and willingness to listen to others. What if: The harm-doer is escalated and refuses to participate? At what point do we "assign" a consequence if they refuse to listen? https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640074 2021-06-04 16:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640074 Students need a safe place to practice and develop their social and emotional skills. Restorative justice allows for adults to guide the students while also allowing the child to be heard. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640218 2021-06-04 16:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640218 https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640262 Nobody does well without feeling safe and secure. Restorative practices can help build feelings of security and safety. ]]> 2021-06-04 16:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640262 Students need to feel that they have a voice, they are loved and respected. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640490 2021-06-04 16:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640490 emotionally healing https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640898 2021-06-04 16:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585640898 I would love a positive alternative to office referrals or clip downs. Students need more adult attention and guidance than we are giving them. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585641012 2021-06-04 16:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585641012 I feel like restorative practices will enable us to do more actual teaching. What if https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585641132 the student refuses to be honest about what happened?]]> 2021-06-04 16:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585641132 Restorative practice will build the community at Monroe and increase positive behaviors https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585641895 2021-06-04 16:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585641895 I feel that adopting and implementing this mindset is huge for our school and education. We are so focused on teaching the concepts. Teaching them that they matter and they have a voice is a crucial tool that carries over in ALL aspects of their lives, whether in school or at home. These will be the skills that are going to be meaningful and that they will remember. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585641947 2021-06-04 16:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585641947 https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585643449 What if the student that needs restorative justice doesn't want to participate. ]]> 2021-06-04 16:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585643449 Students learn better when they feel safe and important. Restorative Justice can help students feel that. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585643960 2021-06-04 16:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585643960 Restorative justice will take time, but will give back time in the long run. https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585644996 2021-06-04 16:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585644996 https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585646952 Could help build relationships of mutual trust and respect among students and staff and make learning possible and enjoyable for students. 
Question:
What if a heavy conflict takes a significant amount of time to get to the root and solve? When and how can this be handled without taking too much away from instruction?]]> 2021-06-04 16:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585646952 https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585647878 What about the severe behaviors? does restorative justice benefit those with severe behaviors.]]> 2021-06-04 16:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585647878 We know that relationships are important. Restorative practices will give us the opportunity to put that knowledge into action. What if we have a hard time forgiving and letting go of past problems with someone? https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585649009 2021-06-04 16:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585649009 WHAT IF... the conflict is between the teacher and an individual student (i.e., refusing to work)? Does the whole class need to be involved? https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585654775 2021-06-04 16:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kfhill2/ma5uc753csiyvn4v/wish/1585654775
