Being Restorative

Picture

The Principle of Non-Interference


​Restorative Practices in and of themselves are not restorative alone.  The one leading must also be restorative in their person.  They must allow themselves to be vulnerable.  They must listen without the need to "interfere". Not interfering, I think, is likely one of the hardest moves as an educator.  But, it is essential to vulnerability, to connection, to working WITH. 

Working WITH - The Social Discipline Window of Restorative Practices

From iirp.org
“When a teacher is harsh, critical, dismissive, demoralized, or overly stressed, their students attune to and come to embody these anti learning states of brain and mind” (Cozolino, 2013, pp. 14-15)

“Students need someone they can communicate with…someone open, non-judgemental and positive…someone who sees their potential” (Joint Consortium for School Health, 2010, p. 48)
