This episode is inspired by my new book (coming September 2022), "50 tips for New Teachers". I co-authored the book with Matthew Rhoads, Ed.D, Casey Jakubowski, Ph.D., and Kevin Leichtman, Ph.D. We share 50 tips for supporting new teachers throughout the year. We discuss just a single tip here. Are you interested in learning more about the book? Join the waitlist - https://view.flodesk.com/pages/62aa87a43e1f4ce38387efdd According to We are Teachers (2021), "Restorative justice is a theory of justice that focuses on mediation and agreement rather than punishment. Offenders must accept responsibility for harm and make restitution to victims." Restorative practice is rooted in Indigenous practices. Restorative practices build school community and respectfully address challenges caused by challenging behavior. Instead of punishing students, these practices promote restoring relationships among students and a student taking ownership of their behaviors. There are three tiers of restorative justice.
