Doing With, Not To or For

Abstract

Chapter 2 examines restorative practices within schools, in conjunction with the underlying foundations of the Social Discipline Window, emphasizing doing things with people, rather than to people. Doing things with people, not to people, combined with the premise of holding people to the highest level of accountability while simultaneously providing high levels of support will be emphasized in this chapter. Additionally, restorative circles, restorative questions, using affective statements, and the use of problem-solving groups to promote a restorative dialogue will be explored.
