Restorative Practices
Restorative practices allow for a shift in practice that results in a culture which is inclusive, builds fair process into decision-making practices, and facilitates students learning to address the impact of their actions through an approach that allows for true accountability, skill building, cooperation, and mutual understanding. Through restorative practices, members of the school community will.
1. Have an opportunity to be heard
2. Understand the greater impact of one's actions
3. Learn to take responsibility
4. Repair the harm one's actions may have caused
5. Recognize one's role in maintaining a safe school environment
6. Build upon and expand on personal relationships in the school community
7. Recognize one's role as a positive contributing member of the school community.
Ultimately, students will learn to make positive, productive, and effective choices in response to situations they may encounter in the future after engaging in a restorative practice.
