Feb. 1 & Feb. 3, 2016: Teaching Peace in Schools Summit: Peace Alliance/NACRJ
2-1-16: Dominic Barter and CamishaFatima Gentry and excellent host, Molly Rowan Leach
"Here's a little snippet.
When one of our participants asked a question about how restorative processes
work for teachers and administrators who have a primary job of maintaining
control in schools, guest speaker Dominic
Barter spoke about how a
restorative systems approach might look at the issue:
“As a
teacher and someone who spends a lot of time with folks who teach and direct
schools, I have seen so many examples of this extraordinary sense of liberation
when people stop trying to manage other people’s behaviors, stop seeing
conflict as something negative that needs to be resolved or marginalized or
shut down, and actually discover this extraordinary sense of well-being and
satisfaction and contribution that they get when they are no longer controlling
people but actually creating the conditions for people to work out what kind of
school society and what kind of wider society do they want themselves. And when
they do that, people don’t want to treat each other badly. They want to live in
relationships of trust. They want to establish that kind of basic community
well-being... its a beautiful experience for a teacher to realize that they can
get some of that, that they were hoping for, that original dream that led them
into the profession in the first place — and let’s face it, it’s a really,
really tough job — they can get some of that dream back. In fact when they try
and control a little less, they find that the order works out for
itself.”
2-3-16: U.S. Congressman Tim Ryan and Jim & Jori Manske.
"Last night's session with Congressman Tim Ryan and Jim and Jori Manske was a profound conversation (listen to the end, it only got more inspiring as it went along).
Apology for the technical glitches at the beginning. Luckily, most of it is recorded to hear now (sadly, a few minutes of Congressman Ryan's talk did not get recorded properly, but there is still plenty of great sharing from him)."

Steve Ritz: food insecurity - gardening; class attendance 43% to 93% 3 min. video
His
school had lots of poverty and *lots* of really hungry kids. So he
decided to create a curriculum around healthy eating and gardening — and
hasn't looked back since.
It's amazing what accomplishing something can do for a kid's self-esteem.
