Repairing Harm and Building Community: Restorative Practices + PBIS = Student Success!

Presentation Abstract

PBIS and Restorative Practices are whole-school models that can be used hand in hand to increase positive outcomes for student behavior. Both emphasize prevention and positive responses to problem behavior. PBIS’ multi-tiered structure for implementing practices and the systematic use of data provide a framework for using restorative practices that include a process for including youth, staff, and community voice within that framework.

In this presentation, participants will become familiar with restorative practices and lean how it can be utilized in the school setting to enhance the PBIS framework and improve implementation. Participants will have the opportunity to practice circles and walk away with tools to begin RP at their perspective schools.

Restorative Practices help to build healthy relationships between educators and students, reduce, prevent, and improve harmful behavior, repair harm and restore positive relationships, resolve conflict, holding individuals and groups accountable; and address and discuss the needs of the school community,

Both PBIS and Restorative Practices place high value on youth and staff engagement and involvement. They support social-emotional learning for youth and staff, and are seen as effective strategies to lower racially disproportionate discipline referrals by offering adults alternative responses to student misbehavior. PBIS shifts adults’ focus from punishing and excluding to teaching and rewarding positive student behavior, while restorative practices encourage personal reflection, accountability, and healing for both students and adults. Both approaches seek to enforce positive behavior and uplift student strengths
