There is more than a decade of evidence that recommends alternative disciplinary practices as the best way to achieve true behavior change in schools. In schools that implement these practices with fidelity, there are improvements in average student GPAs, attendance, and graduation rates while suspension rates declined. Students also reported higher self-esteem, confidence and resilience, plus lower levels of stress and anxiety.

This framework is best approached in a 3-part series, however customization is possible. While restorative practices is at the core of this framework, this practice is most effective when supported by strong instructional and reflective processes. The approach combines 15 years of experience in this area, as a school-level principal, assistant principal, district specialist, classroom teacher, and executive director of an initiative focusing on keeping students on track to graduation and post-secondary success. Components of this framework are informed by courses, conferences, workshops, and certificates from leaders in this space.

The workshop will provide direct instruction and training, but also hands-on opportunities to begin development of a customized plan for your given situation.
