They met with politicians, judges, administration, students, school committee, and a whole host of other people to put this together.  They created a student Court that would take on disciplinary infractions within the school setting and give the students an opportunity to be heard at a hearing.  At that hearing the student jury would then assign them the appropriate disposition based on the ideas of Restorative practice.  Then if the respondent fulfilled the disposition the offense would be removed from their conduct record.","Link":[],"Audience":["High School","Middle School"],"Practice":"I would like to do a quick presentation to frame the issues and then run a Restorative Circle (Tier 1) with the participants.","Presenter":["Tobey Reed"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Attleboro High School"],"PresenterEmail":["treed@attleboroschools.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":176,"ScheduleLocationID":26,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":12},{"ID":1323,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1729870545,"CreatorID":79,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"How do you plan?","Handle":"how_do_you_plan","ShortDescription":"Planning in an inquiry driven classroom can be challenging! What tools, workflows, and techniques do SLA teachers use to ensure that planning is student-centered and meaningful? How do you plan? Join in on an open and honest conversation led by an SLA teacher about planning effective unit and day-to-day lesson.","Description":"Understanding by Design has largely become the \"go-to\" planning methodology for teachers across the country. After 10 years of experience in the classroom it has become clear that, despite having a shared format and mindset, the ways in which teachers plan varies drastically both within and across subject areas (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!). During this conversation, we will be tackling some tougher questions that aren't talked about enough:\r\n\r\n- How long are you actually spending on planning? How long should you spend?\r\n- What should new teachers focus on when first designing inquiry driven units?\r\n- How detailed should daily lessons be?\r\n- Who are we actually planning for? Us? Administrators? Students? How do we plan to meet the needs of all of our stakeholders? \r\n\r\nDiscuss all of these questions and more!","Link":[],"Audience":["High School"],"Practice":"We will begin by discussing and agreeing upon some shared vocabulary. After this, we will have some facilitated discussion within small groups. The point of these conversations are not to come to a conclusion, rather to make you assess and think critically about your own planning practice.","Presenter":["John Henkel"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Science Leadership Academy"],"PresenterEmail":["jhenkel@scienceleadership.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":178,"ScheduleLocationID":26,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"John teaches 9th graders biochemistry and seniors various science electives at Science Leadership Academy.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":12},{"ID":1363,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1731346877,"CreatorID":79,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"Meaningful Making With Middle Schoolers (Year 3)","Handle":"meaningful_making_with_middle_schoolers-year_3","ShortDescription":"In Year 3 of our hands-on program to engage and educate middle school makers:  What best practices in STEM, STEAM, Makerspaces, Engineering, and more can be used to create an engaging and educational experience?  What outcomes do we value when creating these programs? What did we learn from the past?","Description":"Making in middle schools can be both exhilarating and frustrating in equal measures.  Planning hands-on projects for our students is a lot of fun, and also a lot of work.  From the initial planning, to creating materials and activities, scaffolding lessons, managing projects, and designing assessments, a lot of work goes into a successful project.  Join a middle school Pre-Engineering teacher and Makerspace teacher for a discussion around best practices, planning, management, and projects for a broad spectrum of maker programs.  We\u2019ll dive into conversations around topics such as structuring a multi-year program, developing project ideas, managing creative spaces, creating capstone projects, and what we changed from the last two years.  Come prepared to share your experiences, both what has worked and what hasn\u2019t, as well as future goals and \u2018pie in the sky\u2019 ideas.  Don\u2019t have a standalone maker class?  No problem!  We\u2019ll also discuss ways to integrate these types of projects into more traditional classrooms.","Link":["https:\/\/slams.philasd.org\/"],"Audience":["Middle School"],"Practice":"Presenters will facilitate conversation both within the whole group and smaller breakout groups.

We will unpack and prepare responses to three separate arguments. In the second part of the session, Jen will lead a model conversation about a children\u2019s book - and teachers will practice designing their own conversation about the same text.","Link":["http:\/\/www.notlight.com"],"Audience":["High School","Middle School","Elementary School"],"Practice":"Discussion and Case Study","Presenter":["Matthew Kay","Jennifer Orr"],"PresenterAffiliation":["SLA","Stenhouse Publishers","ASCD"],"PresenterEmail":["mrkay@notlight.com","jenorr@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":182,"ScheduleLocationID":26,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":12}],"conditions":{"Status":"Accepted","ConferenceID":12,"ScheduleLocationID":26},"total":4,"limit":false,"offset":false}
