This concept has been used in schools around the world to build community and respond to student misbehavior in the classroom. The proposed study reasoned that restorative practices implementation would have a positive relationship on teacher and student relationships and produce an environment with fewer behavioral concerns for teachers. Analysis of the statistical findings showed, as implementation of restorative practices increased, student behavior and teacher self-efficacy also increased. Results indicated that educators were more likely to use restorative practices if their self-efficacy and training in the method was effective, yielding positive results in the classroom.

Book excerpt: Restorative practice is a new concept and a responsive method of responding to offenses in schools. This new concept has emerged as a new response to student behavior in the classroom. The proposed study concluded that restorative practice implementation would benefit the relationship between teacher-student relationships and build a community of learners with minimal behavior infractions. Analysis of the statistical findings showed that restorative practice decreased the number of disciplinary infractions, improved the climate and culture of the school, and improved the teacher-student relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilize restorative practices to create a safe, accepting, and equitable school climate where learning can flourish. When students have unfinished learning, educators create opportunities for students to learn. Unfortunately, this role seems to end when it comes to behavior. How can we turn behavior into a teachable moment? The Restorative Practices Playbook details a set of practices designed to teach prosocial behaviors based on strong relationships and a commitment to the well-being of others. Implementing restorative practices establishes a positive academic and social-emotional learning environment while building students’ capacity to self-regulate, make decisions, and self-govern—the very skills students need to achieve. In this eye-opening, essential playbook, renowned educators Dominique Smith, Douglas Fisher, and Nancy Frey support educators with the reflection prompts, tools, examples, and strategies needed to create restorative practices around several key concepts: A restorative school culture, grounded in respect, that builds agency and identity, establishes teacher credibility, sets high expectations, and fosters positive relationships Restorative conversations that equip adults and students with the capacity to resolve problems, make decisions, and arrive at solutions in ways that are satisfactory and growth-producing Restorative circles that promote academic learning through dialogue, build consensus in decision making, and help participants reach resolution through healing Formal restorative conferences that foster guided dialogue between victim(s) and offender(s) and include plans for re-entry into the school community By becoming adept in the skillful use of restorative practices, educators will foster equitable discipline that reduces exclusion and creates a school community driven by relationships and respect.

Download or read book Teacher Perceptions of Trauma Responsive Interventions Designed to Improve Student Behavior written by Pamela Davenport and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of childhood trauma are evident in urban classrooms today and adversely affect student achievement. The evidence of exposure to trauma is disruptive behavior, often resulting in a suspension from school. The school social worker or counselor is often viewed as the person responsible for implementing strategies that change student behavior, but the importance of educating classroom teachers on how to deal with the impact of trauma has become apparent. This qualitative case study investigated teacher perceptions of trauma-informed practices used to reduce disruptive behavior at one Midwest urban K-8 school, Teacher perceptions of trauma-informed practices that worked to reduce disruptive behavior, the teacher's role in supporting students impacted by trauma, and teacher training needed to support students impacted by trauma were investigated. Perceptions were gathered from classroom teachers (n=17) via an online survey and a focus group. Results illustrated the importance of the teacher-student relationship, flexibility with classroom rules, and the use of sensory items or alternate seating, with 100% of participants strongly agreeing or agreeing and 94.12% identifying the use of a mentor to check in and out with students and providing a safe space to cool down as beneficial to reducing disruptive behaviors. Five of the six focus group participants stated that it takes the support of everyone to meet the needs of students impacted by trauma. The final question investigated teacher perceptions of training. Even though 58.82% of teachers agreed that they were given adequate training, this question had 41.18% of teachers who disagreed that they were provided enough training to support students impacted by trauma. Results from this study identify the importance of well-trained teachers who consistently use trauma-informed practices to reduce disruptive behaviors in the classroom. This study indicates the benefit for school-wide systems of support that include on-going training to reduce disruptive behaviors of students impacted by trauma. Future quantitative research that analyzes student discipline data would be beneficial to validate teacher perception that trauma-informed practices reduce disruptive behavior.
Download or read book The School Discipline Fix Changing Behavior Using the Collaborative Problem Solving Approach written by J. Stuart Ablon and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete guide to a paradigm-shifting model of school discipline. Disruptive students need problem-solving skills, not punishment. Traditional school discipline is ineffective and often damaging, relying heavily on punishments and motivational procedures aimed at giving students the incentive to behave better. There is a better way. Dr. Ablon and his co-author Dr. Pollastri have been working with schools throughout the world to refine the Collaborative Problem-Solving (CPS) approach, creating a step-by-step program for educators based on the recognition—from research in neuroscience—that challenging classroom behaviors are due to a deficit of skill, not will. This book provides everything needed to implement the program, including reproducible assessment tools to pinpoint skill deficits in areas like frustration tolerance and flexibility that are at the root of students' challenging behaviors. Whether you are a teacher, counselor, coach, or administrator, the CPS approach to school discipline will provide you with a new mindset, an assessment process, and an effective intervention plan for each of your challenging students. You will walk away with strategies that are immediately actionable with the students in your life.
Download or read book Teachers Perceptions of Students with Challenging Behaviors Knowledge Beliefs Attitudes and Practices written by Dawn M. Hart and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging classroom behaviors are increasing in frequency and intensity causing teachers to leave the profession. Teachers report that they are not adequately prepared to effectively manage classrooms. This qualitative study investigated teachers' perceptions of students with challenging behaviors by examining their knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and practices to determine why behaviors persist and identify specific professional development needs. Participants consisted of 76 K-12 educators from one urban and two rural school districts in PA. Respondents answered 70 survey questions on Microsoft Forms that were submitted anonymously. Nine respondents participated in individual interviews. Sixty-nine percent of respondents have several students per year exhibiting challenging behaviors. While most teachers recognize that relationships can improve behaviors, they do not know how to develop or maintain positive relationships. Most respondents perceived negative interactions as effective strategies and do not realize they are perpetuating negative behaviors. With 67% of respondents agreeing to the statement, "Dealing with this student drains my energy" and 71% not believing SW-PBIS is effective, negative attitudes are a concern. Eighty percent of respondents reported their undergraduate coursework did not prepare them to manage classroom behaviors and 45% have thought about leaving the profession. Results indicate a need for pre-service and in-service training on the impact of trauma on childhood development which affects classroom behavior. Additional training should include the importance of teachers' perceptions of students and how that impacts their interactions and subsequent relationships. Furthermore, teachers need training on how to develop and maintain positive relationships with students.

Download or read book Inequality in School Discipline written by Russell J. Skiba and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-20 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume fills a critical void by providing the most current and authoritative information on what is known about disciplinary disparities. School exclusion—out-of-school suspension and expulsion in particular—remains a substantial component of discipline in our nation’s schools, and those consequences continue to fall disproportionally on certain groups of learners. The negative consequences of frequent and inequitable use of school exclusion are substantial, including higher rates of academic failure, dropout, and contact with the juvenile justice system. As educators, policymakers, community leaders, and other youth-serving organizations begin the difficult work of creating more equitable school disciplinary systems, the need for effective disparity-reducing alternatives could not be more important. Drawing on the multi-year ground-breaking work of the Discipline Disparities Collaborative, the chapters in this book provide cutting edge knowledge supporting a new national imperative to eliminate race, gender, disability, and sexual orientation-based disciplinary disparities.
Download or read book Restorative Practices written by Rufus Lott, 3rd and published by National Professional Resources, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time for strict zero-tolerance punitive discipline approaches in schools is over. In addition to being ineffective, traditional exclusionary discipline is often inequitable and even counterproductive. Restorative practices offer a comprehensive alternative approach that promotes a positive school climate with strong relationships at the center, where all community members feel a true sense of belonging. When harm is done or conflict occurs, restorative practices provide a differentiated framework for working with students to restore relationships, repair harm, and prevent recurrences. The new, 6-page quick-reference laminated guide Restorative Practices: An Outside-the-Box Approach to Building and Sustaining Relationships in Schools by Rufus Lott III provides an overview of restorative practices and offers a three phase model with concrete strategies for implementing RP in the classroom: The Connect Phase - Strategies include relationship-building circles, using affective language, developing a relationship agreement, teaching emotional awareness skills. The Correct Phase- Strategies include restorative chats, restorative conferences, and restorative circles to collaborate with students to determine a way to right the wrong or repair the relationship, and continue with a plan to prevent future incidents based on acceptance of personal accountability. The Consequence Phase - Rather than arbitrary punishment, consequences are determined by first considering the desired outcomes are then selecting a strategy to achieve that outcome. This compact yet comprehensive guide will help educators begin their journey toward transforming school culture through implementing restorative practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools that have adopted the ancient principles of restorative justice in their approach to behaviour management report better relationships with young people, greater engagement in learning and a greater development of social and emotional competence among learners. No surprise, then, that interest in restorative practices is growing. It's all about relationships. Wrongdoing is viewed through a 'relational lens'. All those responsible for and affected by the behaviour are involved in solving the problem. Working in conference with a teacher/facilitator, participants come to understand the harm done to people and relationships. Accepting that such harm creates obligations and liabilities, they then focus on repairing the damage and putting things right. Expert practitioners Margaret and David provide a thorough grounding in restorative practice, with worked examples and easy-to-follow teacher scripts to get you started. If RJ is new to you, you'll be a convert in no time!
