What are restorative practices and social/emotional learning?
In this episode, Chris and Karlie talk to Sarah Sampson about the basics of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and Restorative Practices. Sarah gives some great insight into how to use belonging circles and sentence stems to have difficult conversations around race and privilege. She talks about some practical uses for restorative practices in the home and at school while also giving advice on how to advocate for SEL resources at your students’ schools.
Here are some good conversation starters:
- A time I felt left out was…
- I’m most conscious of my race when…
- I cope with the difficulties race creates for me and others by…
- I experience privilege by…
- I make others feel more welcome by…
We are not asking to solve the world’s problems….but what we can do is empower teens to have these conversations – to give them the language and practice to do so.
