This school year we have changed our current In School Suspension Room into the new "Student Support Center" where we are using Restorative Practices for students to take ownership of their actions and begin the healing process. As an Equity Leadership Project, I am part of a team of teachers who are elevating our mindfulness practices at our school. Currently, when students are assigned to the Student Support Center they participate in healing circles and Mindful Meditation. A Restorative Practice Approach is leading the change in how we handle disengaged students who are struggling with behavior problems, class cuts, and truancy. I am also a Mathematics and Business Teacher and Student Centered Learning Coach in which we make the students the center of the education through a blended learning environment. We are incorporating technology into our curriculum at all levels.
