How can we measure success in restorative practices?

Measuring success in restorative practices can involve various qualitative and quantitative metrics. What specific aspects are you interested in?

I'm particularly interested in student behavior and engagement.

Great! You can track changes in student behavior through surveys, attendance records, and incident reports. Engagement can be measured by participation in restorative circles and feedback from students.

What about the impact on the school community?

For the school community, you might consider community surveys, feedback from parents and teachers, and the overall climate of the school. These can provide insights into the broader impact of restorative practices.

Are there any specific tools or frameworks to help with this?

Yes, tools like the Restorative Practices Implementation Guide and various assessment frameworks can help you evaluate the effectiveness of your practices.
