Restorative Practices at Union-Endicott
School discipline policies shall be aimed at creating a positive school climate, supporting the social and emotional development of students, and teaching non-violence and respect for all members of the school community. The purpose of discipline must be to understand and address the causes of behavior, resolve conflicts, repair the harm done, restore relationships, and reintegrate students into the school community. Restorative Practices are a framework for a broad range of approaches that aim to do the following:
Proactively build a school community based on cooperation, mutual understanding, trust, and respect, and
Respond to conflict by including all people impacted in finding solutions that restore relationships and repair the harm done to the community.
As part of the five year implementation plan, we are working with multiple stakeholders and experts to make sure we have fidelity in implementation in order to plan for the future.
