National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG)’s Post

“My Mummy works in a school, but she's not a teacher” – my daughter, aged 7. This got me thinking, how do I explain to my 7-and 4-year-old what I do? Answer Attempt #1: Mummy is a Storyteller. Pretty accurate, right? One aspect of my role is having the responsibility of capturing and sharing the essence of my schools through narratives, experiences, and moments. Together with my team, we weave stories of our students, staff, and the school itself, highlighting achievements, challenges, and aspirations. And through storytelling, we bring life to the values, culture, and identity of our school, helping others to understand and connect with what makes us special. It's about painting a vivid picture of who we are and the impact we have, one story at a time. That’s why I am incredibly proud to share the launch our Create Your Story campaign, where authenticity became the guiding principle of our brief. Too often, we see marketing efforts focus solely on showcasing facilities, products or numbers neglecting the authentic stories that breathe life into statistics. Our mission was clear: show, don't tell. Go take a look, let me know what you think. https://lnkd.in/ecYQUgNk #CreateYourStory #BrandStory #CreativeCampaigns #StrategicStorytelling

Cultivating Changemakers through Restorative Justice 🌱 This article and interview by Education Week gives insights to the benefits of Restorative Justice practices, including restorative circle, as a teaching tool to support students with resolving conflict. Not only is it a life skill students (and adults) need to have, it also supports outcomes for students academically and socially. In serving the whole child as educators, creating and maintaining spaces for resolving conflicts are essential in building up Changemakers and supporting the being and becoming of our students. Cultivating Changemakers, LLC will continue to support the work restorative circle and other forms of circle have in community building, as research shows its direct, positive impact to learning. #CultivatingChangemakers #RestorativeJustice #RestorativeCircle #ConflictResolution
