Collective efficacy in action King Albert PS during book study. Joe Brummer’s Building a Trauma-Informed Restorative School is foundational to our #KAPSequity work. We meet universal needs & build internal discipline with relationships & explicit teaching of lagging skills.

Educators often want me to to tell them what to do when kids are behaving poorly due to dysregulation. My answer is always the same, prevent dysregulation. Don't wait for the crisis, prevent the crisis by setting up a trauma-informed, safe, regulated space.

I challenge any of the schools where I consult to do this......love it.....

I am so happy for you Shannon McKinley! You are going to do amazing things!

Restorative Circles about recess in our junior classes led to touch football games. Mr Brillinger and student leaders are teaching skills, rules, and how to navigate snowbanks in the end zone. #KnightsCode We all belong and are stronger together.

If you want to handle the current behavior problems in schools, don't hire more responses like police, hire for more prevention strategies! Hire social workers, paraprofessionals, and behavior techs trained in trauma-informed & restorative approaches!

A proud coaching moment at primary track & field. “I’m so proud of myself! She was afraid to do long jump and I told her I used to be scared too, but I tried it, and practiced it, and now I’m not afraid anymore. She jumped 7!” #KnightsCode We all belong and are stronger together.

Everyone in a child's life is responsible for discipline. If parents fail, then the village needs to step in. Teachers should be working with parents and parents need to work with educators. It is a partnership. If you think it's not your job, you need a new job.
