Final thoughts after the program
- Restorative practice ranges from a specific worldview to practical activities. That being said, ideas from restorative practice can be used anywhere and at anytime.
- Emotions and relationships are the two important aspects of restorative practice.
- Restorative practice asks people to be proactive rather than waiting for conflict to occur.
- Language matters to respect each other's affective responses, which requires practices.
- Circle is a practical strategy for restoring conflicts and building a better community.Practical application to my context
-> Affective statements and affective questions could be a good starting point to include emotions for sharing thoughts.
-> Circle practices have enough potential and power to find engagement, explanation, and expectations.
-> Sport culture unfortuately is vulnerable to falling into masculine and ablist behaviors, which should be reflected based on restorative practice. Acknowledging the difficulty of confronting the existing culture, practices should challenge some thoughts.

RP for Ed SHARABLE Slides -1.pdf1.87MBWhy circle, What does it mean?
" "If people stand in a circle long enough, they'll eventually begin to dance."
-> This quote resonates with me, specifically, for two reasons. The use of a metaphor, Dance, is strong in that people can dance when they are comfortable with the environment and open to each other. In addition, 'eventually' refers to the idea that the circle will take time for people to get used to it.
Only 20% of the circle process is to resolve conflicts. 80% of the RP should be proactive in order to form a better community culture.

Affects - biology; feelings - psychology; emotions - biography…great way to think about it. S o, if an affect is the biological reaction, it can be trained, but it can’t necessarily be controlled (particularly the younger the person is). This can really help us to be empathetic to children instead of angry at a response they can’t change. 
Different reactions with shame occur: withdrawal, attack self, attack other, and avoidance. Teachers may be confused and react to students' reaction from shame, which results in punitive decision-makings rather than taking care of their affective responses.
