Part of our PBIS program involves Resorative Practices. Restorative practices is a school-wide approach that adresses student behavior by teaching students:
to consider how their actions impact others (empathy)
how to repair broken relationships (making it right)
how to identify the cause of a behavior and to get what they need to change their behavior
Restorative practices focuses on building strong and trusting relationships between teachers and students, as well as between students and their peers. Some of the ways we do this are:
Respect Agreements
Restorative Circles
Reflection Sheets
What is a Respect Agreement?
At the beginning of the school year, each classroom spends time talking about the way students want to be treated by other students, how they want to be treated by their teachers, how the teachers want to be treated by their students and how everyone should treat the building. After these conversations, each classroom makes and displays a Respect Agreement chart to serve as a reminder of these conversations and to help hold each other accountable to their agreement.
What are Restorative Circles?
Restorative circles are used to promote social-emotional growth within a classroom setting. Circles help strengthen problem solving skills and foster positive school culture.
What are Reflection Sheets?
We know that nobody is perfect and at times everyone makes mistakes. Understanding the reason behind a behavior and thinking about how our behaviors impact others can be difficult for a child. When appropriate, a Reflection/ Think sheet may be used to help a student think through their behaviors with the goal of repairing any broken relationships and correcting the behavior. In most cases, students are asked to complete a Reflection Sheet at school but may sometimes be asked to complete one at home.
