What are Restorative Practices?
What are Restorative Practices?
Restorative Process is a cultural shift based on respect, responsibility, relationship building and relationship repairing. It aims to keep kids in school and to create a safe environment where learning can flourish.
Restorative practices focus on repairing harm and creating a safe space for open communication, relationship building, healing and understanding. Restorative practices can offer a chance to those affected by conflict to be part of finding solutions that meet their needs and promote community safety and well-being. It can help students develop skills needed to manage their own behaviors, treat others with respect and solve their own problems.
Restorative process helps students resolve conflicts on their own and in small groups. The idea is to bring students together in peer-mediated small groups to talk, ask questions and resolve any conflicts.

Restorative Concept Lessons:
Restorative Concept Lessons:
Utilize these templates to guide a lesson in which students are led to think about their behavior and choices as well as the impact of those choices. Teaching metacognitive skills and pro-social behaviors is a more effective way to give students replacement behaviors and teach consequences than an exclusionary consequence for students exhibiting problem behaviors due to a lack of skills, lack of awareness, or lack of motivation.
