@FCCPS has expanded its practice in Restorative Practices through the @iirpgradschool ! We now have 13 staff members certified to facilitate restorative conferences. So proud of this team and so grateful for the opportunity to continue to train folks in this work.

Dialogue Circle Monday in Pack at @mehms with Mr. Agnew, Ms. Damm and Ms. Liebner! Love to see restorative practices in action!

Inspiration isn’t just about “Aha!” moments. It’s a complex interplay of evocation, transcendence, and motivation. But here’s what I’m pondering: How can we cultivate more openness in our daily lives to invite inspiration?

Maybe it’s about creating space for wonder, embracing the unfamiliar, or simply pausing to notice the extraordinary in the ordinary.

What inspires you?

One of my favorite community circle prompts 😂 The general consensus was 4 or 5.

[Sara Tennyson @Ms10yson]

We always learn that we ebb and flow between communication styles, but want to strive to being assertive when we can!

[Sara Tennyson @Ms10yson]

Students wrote how they feel when they use each of the four styles of communication in SEL flex. Many noted how one of the only quadrants with positive emotions linked to the style was assertive. This is our reminder to attempt to be direct, clear, and kind to others! @mehms

[Sara Tennyson @Ms10yson]

Such a privilege and joy to share impactful and meaningful curriculum from @iirpgradschool with colleagues in @FCCPS !

[Julie Macrina @Jbmacrina]
