Q1: What is our belief around restorative justice? Not, what we do, but what do we believe? #RSDchat

A1: I was just chatting w/someone about restorative justice ideas for my classroom. Building community to build student trust. #RSdchat

halliesmills Nov 30 @ 9:50 PM EST

A1: I think it's important for students to know that one bad event or wrong choice doesn't mean that all is lost. #rsdchat

halliesmills Nov 30 @ 9:51 PM EST

Curious about any ideas you have! #rsdchat

In reply to @TechieTcher

dr_riina Nov 30 @ 9:51 PM EST

A1: I believe elf-control, problem solving, interpersonal relationship management, conflict resolution, & empathy outweigh content #rsdchat

MikeLaChance5 Nov 30 @ 9:51 PM EST

I believe restorative justice applies to parenting as well. Great way to teach empathy and model. #RSDchat

halliesmills Nov 30 @ 9:53 PM EST

We're talking #equity in education right now in #rsdchat. Join in the conversation!

gilliam_evelyn Nov 30 @ 9:53 PM EST

Children are always learning. RJ needs to allow SS to learn from the situation and remain connected to the community #RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 30 @ 9:53 PM EST

Still mulling through new learning.I believe restorative justice can be big bc students aren't just sent out or away. #RSDchat

In reply to @halliesmills

mmg6459 Nov 30 @ 9:53 PM EST

A1 Using Restorative justice as a practice makes sense as we work to build relationships w/students and parents. #RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 30 @ 9:54 PM EST

Agreed! Not just for students either. Adults need to feel this way too! #RSDchat

2. Adams Elem has no bells. How do you think our students would/would not benefit from a no bells/no whistles system (K-5? K-12?)#RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 30 @ 9:58 PM EST

Right. Instead of it feeling like school has given up on a child it feels like school supporting & teaching the child. #RSDchat

In reply to @mmg6459

halliesmills Nov 30 @ 9:59 PM EST

I will admit I was multi-tasking while listening & missed this part. No morning/afternoon/lunch bells? #rsdchat

In reply to @gilliam_evelyn

dr_riina Nov 30 @ 9:59 PM EST

Agreed. It is hard to focus on those intangibles with so much pressure to perform on content heavy tests. #rsdchat

In reply to @TechieTcher

pdemps45 Nov 30 @ 10:00 PM EST

A1: Restorative justice=best way to do conflict. We are unique & have 2 work together. This takes time/conversation/relationships #RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:00 PM EST

And once those intangibles are set the deeper learning will happen & performance will go up. #RSDchat

In reply to @dr_riina

gilliam_evelyn Nov 30 @ 10:01 PM EST

No bells/no whistles at recess. They use hand signals #rsdchat

A2: No bells is a start, but it is ultimately a superficial change, like the S in SAMR. It isn't enough w/o lots of other changes #rsdchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:01 PM EST

Question 2: How do you think our students would/would not benefit from a no bells/no whistles system (K-5?) K-12?) #RSDchat

halliesmills Nov 30 @ 10:02 PM EST

Oh yes! I remember that now. I like the peaceful nature. It would take a lot of practice I imagine! #rsdchat

In reply to @gilliam_evelyn

pdemps45 Nov 30 @ 10:02 PM EST

A2 I think our kids would benefit from no bells, would fell less factory, more personal, and would take getting use to #RSDchat

MrAllPurposeRHS Nov 30 @ 10:03 PM EST

A2. Such a major systemic shift. Would require a full commitment to a new model from everyone involved...doable but very hard. #rsdchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:03 PM EST

A2: Not having the loud noise would be good for Ss or Ts with trauma in their backgrounds. @mrterborg Or sensory impaired Ss. #RSDchat

A2 no bells is what it looks like on the outside, on the inside that is a lot of worthy work, conversation, & mutual understanding #RSDchat

gilliam_evelyn Nov 30 @ 10:05 PM EST

We had no bells for a while.The building seemed calmer. Many adults did not like it. We went back #rsdchat

Some schools are building sensory rooms. For all children. https://t.co/Pc0XoFcA5I #RSDchat

dr_riina Nov 30 @ 10:08 PM EST

W/o the work, conversations,& understanding, the gains are limited, adults won't like it & it doesn't last. #rsdchat

A2 no bells is what it looks like on the outside, on the inside that is a lot of worthy work, conversation, & mutual understanding #RSDchat

gilliam_evelyn Nov 30 @ 10:08 PM EST

Definitely requires more than just turning the bells off. Tchrs & Ss need protocols to function in that environment #rsdchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:08 PM EST

You are correct. Which is why we've got to think outside the box to still make it happen given the limitations we have. #RSDchat

In reply to @dr_riina

MrAllPurposeRHS Nov 30 @ 10:09 PM EST

Does buy-in need to be rooted in turning off the bells, or something deeper, some important mental models? #rsdchat
