In our classrooms we must create environments for children to shine bright like diamonds :) #orlorocks

I used to think social media was a waste of time now I believe it can be a powerful vehicle for school transformation work #hennorlocollab

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@YanaizaGallant @lnreilly I plan on talking to staff about restorative practices as often as I can. I am going to make it a point to use a restorative lens in my own work with students and discuss my thinking process with staff who haven’t been trained yet. #hennorlocollab #restorativejusticeisthefuture

@lnreilly @YanaizaGallant A6. Doing this work around other people that care so much sustains my drive to help kids. Hennessey and Orlo have such positive energy and compassionate people who just want the best for kids. #HennOrloCollab

@lnreilly @YanaizaGallant A-5 Playworks. This set of strategies creates an inclusive environment for students and gives every student an opportunity to engage. #HennOrloCollab

@lnreilly @YanaizaGallant A4 Meeting kids where they are everyday when they walk in the building. Understanding they may have not had the best morning/weekend/vacation #HennOrloCollab

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@lnreilly @YanaizaGallant A3 Tremendous opportunities to develop knowledge and awareness of how to think about helping kids who are struggling. Strategies to prevent the struggle as well! #HennOrloCollab

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@lnreilly @YanaizaGallant A2 Modeling restorative practice :), implementing play-works, creating meaningful and lasting relationships. #HennOrloCollab

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@jjohn12344 @lnreilly @YanaizaGallant Awesome answer :)

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@lnreilly @YanaizaGallant Q1
When trying to work towards a goal, there has to be an understanding of what the underlying issues are that sustain the problem. Only then can you effectively create change :) #HennOrloCollab

@lnreilly Chris Russo. Behavior coach. Ready for the chat :)

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@YanaizaGallant @lnreilly The biggest difference to me is this. A traditional approach typically EXCLUDES the child from the process following the misbehavior. A restorative approach would include all players in the interaction. #hennorlocollab

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@YanaizaGallant A6: Final question. Collaborate with all playworks attendees to solidify a plan to ensure that playworks values are a part of every recess. #HennOrloCollab #playworks

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@YanaizaGallant A5: Greet anyone and everyone you see in the hallways :) #HennOrloCollab

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@YanaizaGallant A4: There are a whole bunch of tier one interventions under the PBIS umbrella in both schools that are in place to create an inclusive, warm culture# hennorlocollab

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@YanaizaGallant A3: I’m assuming a high correlation between job satisfaction and a warmer school climate among school staff #HennOrloCollab

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@YanaizaGallant A2: I’ve seen it first hand in my home based work. Kids who attend a school with a positive school climate/culture leave school in positive spirits which carries over to home life :) #HennOrloCollab

[Chris Russo @crusso7070]

@YanaizaGallant A1 To me, school culture is about the traditions and daily routines within a school. The climate is how it feels to be in a school. #HennOrloCollab
