Description

Welcome to this episode of Morning Boost! We're exploring the application of restorative practices in handling minor yet impactful disruptions within the school environment. This episode focuses on a scenario where a student creates a significant mess in the school bathroom, prompting a restorative response from educators. Listeners will learn how to approach and engage with students to understand the motivations behind their actions and guide them to acknowledge the broader impact of their behavior on the school community, including fellow students and custodial staff. The episode emphasizes the importance of direct accountability and the power of genuine apologies, alongside outlining ways for students to make amends. By featuring real-life examples and offering practical tips, this episode showcases the effectiveness of restorative justice in fostering responsibility, respect, and positive change. Tune in to discover how these approaches go beyond traditional punishments to create lasting educational and personal growth.
