Let's circle up!!! Restorative practices offer a transformative approach to discipline and community building within educational settings.Moving away from punitive measures, these practices prioritize repairing harm, fostering empathy, and strengthening relationships.Educators can begin by creating a safe and inclusive classroom environment where open communication is valued.This involves actively listening to students, modeling respectful dialogue, and facilitating restorative circles to address conflicts constructively.By focusing on understanding the root causes of misbehavior and empowering students to take responsibility for their actions, educators can cultivate a culture of accountability and mutual respect.
