  2. RESTORATIVE PRACTICES From Behaviour Management to Relationship Management Restorative Practices

  3. FUNDAMENTALS OF RESTORATIVE PRACTICES • Misbehaviour is a violation of people and relationships • Violations create obligations and liabilities • Restorative practices seeks to heal and put things right. Zehr and Mika, 1997

  4. RESTORATIVE PRACTICES If the philosophy of restorative practices were to underpin all our disciplinary dealings with students, our schools would go some way to building social capital and a sense of belonging to an emotionally healthy community. Cameron 2001

  5. RESTORATIVE PRACTICES IN SCHOOLS Misbehaviour • is viewed not as breaking a ‘school’ rule but as • a violation against the people and relationships in the school and the wider community This means: • the harm done needs to be explored • and the harm needs to be repaired

  6. THE SOCIAL DISCIPLINE WINDOW HIGH Control (Limit Setting Discipline) Support (Encouragement, Nurture) HIGH LOW To With punitive restorative Not For neglectful permissive (Wachtel and McCold)

  7. CLASSROOM & SCHOOL CULTURE HIGH • Consistent • Responsive • Flexible • Accountable • Responsible • Cooperation • Negotiation • Power Struggles • Confrontation • Authoritarian • Win-Lose • Retribution • Stigmatising Control TO WITH • Uncaring • Tired • Lazy • Burnt Out • Given Up • Chaotic • Inconsistent • Excusing • Giving In • Blurred • Boundaries • Rescuing NOT FOR Support HIGH LOW (M. Thorsborne)

  8. TWO VIEWS • OLD – TRADITIONAL • What happened? • Who’s to blame? • What rule was broken? • What’s the punishment? • NEW – RESTORATIVE • What happened? • Who’s involved? • What harm’s been done? • How do we make it right? What happened

  9. RESTORATIVE LANGUAGE Start with … “Can you tell me what happened?” rather than using conflict-producing questions such as “Why did you you do it? “ ‘What did you do?’ “What’s wrong with you?”

  10. RESTORATIVE LANGUAGE • What were you thinking about at the time? • What have you thought about since? • Who has been affected by what happened? • How do you think they have been affected? • What can be done to repair the harm? • Or How can you fix this? • How can I help you?

  11. RESTORATIVE PRACTICES Is about: • the development and enhancement of relationships • conflict resolution and problem solving skills • management practices that are less punitive and more democratic and supportive • encouraging students to learn, reconcile and resolve with others.

  12. AFFECTS: PUNISHMENT • Punishment: works for small number of children a limited number of times. • Usually gets one of 3 outcomes: • ….revenge, • ….more sneaky so as not to get caught, • ….confirms feeling of being bad.

  13. AFFECTS: AMENDS • students takes responsibility for own mistakes • learn skills to follow the rules • get support to be part of the group: connected

  14. RESTORATIVE RESULTS... • …are measured by how much repair is done rather than by how much punishment was inflicted.
