Restorative Practices at School - Becky McCammon - Bog

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.
