Restorative Principles and Approaches Enhance PBIS Implementation
All schools need to have a foundation of relationship and community building, connection, and belonging. Restorative principles and approaches build relationships that support all students, including those with interfering behaviors.
In a restorative approach, restorative principles of exploring relationship, meaningful engagement, agency & choice, and responsibility / accountability all work together like cogs in the same machine.
What do restorative approaches within PBIS look like in action?
- Think about how your school can move from more a traditional approach to a more restorative approach. Where are you on this continuum? Where is your school? What do you need to move toward doing “with” instead of “to or for” students?
