Restorative Practices in the Early Grades (Grades 13)
Restorative practices hold great promise for shifting the power balance structures and
approach of traditional classroom and disciplinary practice. At their core restorative practices
are equitable and explicitly anti-racist. They incorporate themes of social-emotional learning
racial and cultural equity and relationship- and trust-building to promote healthier classrooms
and schools. Restorative practices encourage us to engage in self-reflection to participate on
the same level as our students and to actively question some of the assumptions many of us
may this course we will explore the foundational philosophy and values of restorative
practices familiarizing ourselves with common themes and practices as we adopt a restorative
and transformative lens. Together we will engage with practical applications of restorative
practices in the elementary classroom trying them out together and reflecting on our
experiences.
