EduCARE

Are you a student or a parent of a student struggling with bullying? Does your school want to get better at dealing with harm—from staff relations to student interactions to relationships with parents? Do you want your school to embed a restorative framework into curriculum and ways of teaching?

Zero tolerance policies in schools have been a failure—but Restorative Practice in schools is a real alternative!

More and more schools are turning to Restorative Practice—and finding the culture of their schools changing significantly by focusing on relationships and adjusting their response to those harmed and those causing harm.

Shalem is pleased to offer a comprehensive package of training and coaching designed to support schools (from JK through university) in becoming restorative culture environments. In a three-way partnership between Shalem, Edifide and the Edvance, Shalem offers training for Christian Schools in Ontario. Through EduDeo, we have offered school training in the Dominican Republic. Our Restorative Practice trainers and coaches are often themselves teachers and administrators in schools which have embraced Restorative Practice—and they have powerful first-hand stories to tell. And they articulate passionately the deep rootedness of Restorative Practice in the Gospel.

Restorative Practice in Schools… a Different Approach

Traditional Discipline Questions

  1. What rules were violated?
  2. Who did it?
  3. What is the appropriate punishment?

Restorative Questions

  1. Who has been harmed?
  2. What are their needs?
  3. Whose obligations are these?
