What happened? Value the student’s voice and perspective. Focus on the timeline of events without blame. Understand and identify triggers.
What were you thinking about at the time? Develop emotional literacy by linking thoughts, feelings and actions.
What have your thoughts been since? Assess reflection following the incident when emotions have de-escalated.
Who has been affected by what happened? The key question to trigger empathy and remorse. Think beyond those directly involved to see the ‘ripple effect’ of actions and consider the personal impact.
In what way have they/you been affected? Name or describe the impact and acknowledge the consequences.
