With restorative discipline, schools move beyond punitive approaches to shared expectations for learning and behaviour.

Used together with The School Leader’' Guide to Restorative Discipline, this teacher's guide shows how to create a welcoming and responsible community within your classroom, contributing to a consistent, school wide approach to discipline. It shows teachers how to create a classroom of positive relationships, where every member of that classroom community feels a sense of belonging, is valued, and accepts responsibility for the well-being of others. The behaviour expectations in this book apply to adults as well as students, and lead to positive learning outcomes.

Authors Luanna Meyer and Ian Evans offer field-tested strategies that transform classroom dynamics. Topics include:

  • A step-by-step approach to introducing restorative discipline in your classroom
  • Developing peer support and group problem-solving among students, including preventing and stopping bullying
  • Collaborating with administrators and colleagues on school wide behaviour expectations
  • Partnering with families and neighbourhood organisations to support positive student conduct
  • Managing effective individual interventions with students, including four key principles for success
  • Interventions for challenging behaviours as well as alternatives to traditional models of punishment, such as in-school suspension, restorative conferencing, and safe crisis intervention.

This comprehensive guide helps teachers introduce and sustain a proven approach to discipline, preparing students for achievement in school and life.
