WHAT COURSE COMPLETERS HAVE TO SAY
Introduction to Classroom Connection Circles
- My classroom is a different place since we started doing Circles the way I learned in this online course. My students love the Circles and are much more focused and ready to learn.
- This course synthesized for me the process and importance of Circles. It has given me all the tools I need to get started.
- Teachers at our school have reported that their classroom cultures have greatly improved after starting to do these circles.
Introduction to Restorative Justice Facilitation
- This course was very detailed in explaining how the sessions should go. In this field this is incredibly helpful to know how to have these conversations when [discipline] issues arise.
- I liked that this was a comprehensive condensed introduction to RJ with awesome handouts. For someone who is interested in getting a quick and informative lesson, this is perfect. It allows someone to get the gist without having to sit through an entire day or a week of classes.
- I now see that giving students the freedom to be able to speak up and explain their concerns uninterrupted, and then hearing the story from the other's point of view builds a better sense of empathy among students. I wish I'd known about this years ago.
Boomerang Motivational Training for Teens
- This is the best class I’ve ever taken. It got me to really take charge of my life. I feel so much more confident now.
- I used to get into trouble on the street a lot. I want to be a nationally recognized rap star, but no one was paying any attention to my talent. Then I met Jeannette and Andre, the Boomerang people, and I won their talent show. I’m 17 and I just became a father. I want my son to be proud of me, and now I know he will.
- When I first came into the Boomerang class I thought it was going to be lame. I left early with a few of my friends, but the next day I brought back double that number, because I said, “Hey, this is real talk. Let’s check it out.” I met with Andre and Jeannette over a year later and got to tell them I graduated from high school with honors and got a 2-year scholarship to the community college and I was saving my money to become a millionaire like we talked about in the class. Life is awesome when you have goals and an action plan.
