Show Title: Are You Okay? With Jamie Brown
Power Quote: “Connection before correction”
Jamie’s Student Debrief Protocol:
1. Are you okay?
2. What was the trigger?
3. How did the behavior impact others?
4. What could you have done differently?
Description:
Are you okay? Of course, your answer to that question may vary depending on the circumstances, but what does it signal to you when I ask that question? Are you okay? Today we’ll begin with this simple question and then build on it to create a simple process for helping break cycles of destructive and disruptive student behavior.

Warmup questions:
· We always like to start with a celebration. What are you celebrating today?
· Is there a story that will help listeners understand why you are doing what you do?
Questions/Topics/Prompts
· In moving from a “traditional” approach to discipline to a more restorative approach, how has that impacted students, teachers, and you?
· You have a wonderful protocol for having a conversation with a student who is “in trouble.” Could you take us through the basics and explain your rationale behind each step?
· I think teachers could also use this protocol. How might you adapt it for them and how would you teach them how to use it?
Closing questions:
· What part of your own leadership are you still trying to get better at?
· If listeners could take just one thing away from today’s podcast, what would it be?
· Before we go, is there anything else that you’d like to share with our listeners?
· Where can people learn more about you and your work…
I’ll include the student interview questions in the show notes. Copy, print, and try them out. If you try nothing else, begin your next discipline conversation by asking, “Are you okay?”
