3. Two six year olds have a
disagreement. One boy pulls
the other boys shirt and the
other boy pushes back.
Zero tolerance
vs.
Restorative Justice
4. Student is taking things
away from student without
asking
• Replacement Behavior
• Other contributing factors to behavior
• What is the intervention we could
provide
5. Student is disrespectful to
teacher or another student
How would you restore order?
What is the replacement behavior you would
teach?
Are there lessons your whole class may need
to hear?
6. Scenario: Student always
disrupting class (shouting out
answers or getting up out of his
seat)
What replacement behaviors could
you teach this student?
7. Consider one of your
student’s behaviors
Think about how you could
provide the student with
replacement behavior
8. When thinking about discipline
• Provide student’s with language frames
for behavior
• Consider what is the TRUE wrong with
the behavior to provide replacement
behavior
• Consider whether students need order
restored
Editor's Notes
Behavior intervention
Positive
Focus on behavior today, not homework aspect
Focus on 15%
Tier 1 = school wide expectations, SOAR, class lessons
Tier 2= focus today, keep in a student while we talk
Zero tolerance would have suspended or punished these students but that doesn’t solve any problems they may still carry the angst they feel against each other and they still don’t know how to act if the situation happens again, imagine if they were fourth or fifth grade, without a restorative approach they carry the anger with them and fight in the park later
Even without punishment we could have them share their side and say sorry
Restorative justice tries to restore order
Instead you want to restore order and provide replacement
“what if it happens again? What will you do?”
Consequences still exist, but they are not always the punishment
Consider anticedants
