attendance between the 6th and 12th grades

If a Child Cannot Read
If a child cannot read, we teach him to read.
If a child cannot do math, we teach her math.
If a child does not know science, we teach her science.
If a child does not know how behave, we punish him.
Expect, Insist, Support
Expect things of children/students.
Insist that they meet these expectations.
Support them in meeting the expectations.
from Ruby Payne
We often forget support .

Restorative Practices
A philosophy.
A way of thinking.
A way of being.
(not a program)
Restorative Thinking
“Too rapid an escalation
to punishment risks making young
people more angry than thoughtful”
Braithwaite, J. (1989) Crime, Shame and Reintegration. New York: Cambridge University Press
Restorative Practices
“A student misbehaves in class and his teacher asks him to
leave. The student is suspended from school and comes back.
Nothing is resolved; nothing is restored. / But with restorative
practices, the student is held accountable and given support to
resolve the issue, repair the harm and make a plan to ensure that
the misbehavior doesn’t happen again. Relationships are
restored and community is built.”
-Ted Wachtel IIRP
What are ‘Restorative Practices’?
. . . develop good relationships and restore a sense of community in an increasingly disconnected world.
. . . decisions are best made and conflict are best resolved by those most directly involved in them.
. . . these practices have been applied in justice systems, families, workplaces, and neighborhoods, as well as in schools.
- Costello, Wachtel, & Wachtel
