It's hard to argue that implementing restorative practices can hurt a school culture. The challenge, though, is knowing how and when to approach a conflict from a place of restoration. Even harder is understanding how to balance restorative practices with traditional behavior management strategies. Greg Goelz, principal at Dottke PBL High School, j…

It's really tempting when thinking about equity to focus on how things currently are. While it's useful to understand the way things are, it's a lot more helpful to grow in our understanding of how we got to where we are and solidify a vision for where we want to go. This week we talk about tempering our natural tendency to fixate on our current si…
