Restorative practices promote a positive and safe school environment. Students and all members of the school community learn and practice self-discipline, empathy, and accountability with strategies that promote trust, inclusiveness, positive relationships, and problem-solving skills. Restorative practices are leveraged through methods such as circles, a practice that allows all parties of an incident to be heard and to process consequences of actions, conflict resolution and reflective conferences and conversations aimed at helping students become more self-awareness and personally responsible. Restorative practices allow individuals to take full responsibility for their behavior by supporting their understanding and acknowledgement of the impact their behavior on others, how to work towards repairing relationships, rebuilding trust, and making more responsible decisions in the future. Restorative practices and SEL strategies work within the PBIS framework to wholistically teach and address behavior expectations and provide appropriate tired interventions.
