One of the most important shifts when transitioning from a punitive to restorative discipline process is in our language when speaking w/ students. Changing the question from "Do you know why that was wrong?" to "What can you do to make things right?" #SEL #restorativepractices

"Many [students] complained that they only averaged four hours of sleep per night. Or worse, they wore their lack of sleep like a medal that proved their work ethic." #sleepdeprivation #edchat weareteachers.com/teen-sleep-epi…
