Teaching Meaningful Learning

I looked at this blog posting.

After teaching about several injustices in history, students were upset by what they learned. However, once the students left the classroom they became engulfed by middle school drama. This teacher decided to take steps to help the students create a community environment. Restorative Justice and peace circles were a big help to encouraging students to listen to each other. Students are encouraged to share their varied perspectives and experiences and create a supportive environment. By working in small groups, students can learn from each other.
