"I learned new ways to include student voice, set clear expectations, and use restorative practices to help students grow.

"I was able to identify many situations that took place over the course of my school year which could be handled much better."

"I learned how important it is to respond appropriately and consistently to incidents when they occur, and how to properly document those incidents. I also learned proactive strategies on how to create an inclusice and respectful environment for all students."

"I learned how to better recognize and address bias, bullying, and discrimination in schools. The training emphasized the importance of creating a safe, inclusive environment and gave practical strategies to support all students with dignity and respect."

"I appreciated learning specific strategies to strengthen the home-school connection, like providing parents with simple, actionable tools they can use at home to reinforce school values."
