Deep dives

Implementing a Restorative Approach

Janine Dodds shares her experience of implementing a restorative approach in her school after experiencing issues with behavior. The decision to explore a restorative approach came after the school had a turbulent period and was known for bad behavior. The traditional behavior strategies weren't consistent or effective, and staff heavily relied on senior leaders to handle behavior issues. The restorative approach was seen as a way to give children a voice and address the impact of trauma and adverse childhood experiences on behavior. It aimed to replace shaming and punishment with problem-solving and repairing relationships.
