Explore the impact of restorative practices through interactive
prompts and exercises designed to examine your role as a teacher or
educator and as an agent of school transformation.
Restorative practices have been shown to increase classroom time and
student engagement while reducing suspensions, bullying, and absences.
Fantastic in theory, restorative techniques require practice every day
to result in meaningful change. That's where Restorative Practices at
School comes in.
This first-ever restorative practices workbook helps teachers,
paraprofessionals, counselors, and every educator reflect and enhance
their restorative journey. Part professional resource and part guided
journal, this book includes:
-
Guided prompts to help you reflect on your practice
-
Real-life examples from educators who use restorative techniques
-
Critical analysis of your own values and their influence
-
Strategies for remaining present and mindful at school
-
Exercises for building strong school relationships and communities
Inspired by an urban district's work in whole-school implementation, the
activities in this book provide clear pathways for consideration,
exploration, and celebration of restorative practices.
