Q1 Many schools have adopted restorative practices to decrease the number of suspensions and referrals, but are they succeeding or failing? Why or why not? #WeAreWayne
A1: I witnessed restorative practices first had as an assistant principal and it was successful because we reduced our office referrals by nearly 30% in one year. #wearewayne
Q2: For those who see restorative practices as an approach for building meaningful relationships and decreasing challenging behaviors, how can we help share the vision for those who are maybe skeptical? #wearewayne
A2: First we have to be clear on our "Why" restorative practices are beneficial to all of us. Then show people the evidence (successes) of restorative practices in schools today. Then tell them to get on board. #wearewayne
