Restorative practices are an alternative to punitive approaches to classroom management. These practices humanize the schooling experience and allow individuals who cause harm to make amends.  Restorative practices rely on strong relationships as well as clear systems and procedures to ensure that harm is addressed. The impact is increased equity for BIPOC students as well as a reduction in exclusionary practices such as suspension and expulsion. But as importantly, students change their behavior as they come to understand the impact that it has.  

The Future of Learning is NOW! Join us as we accelerate learning through the Visible Learning research and evidence!

To get there, let's embark on the pathways of Visible Learning: Teaching, Leading, Learning, and Equity, which will accelerate growth and make the biggest impact on student learning.

The PLC+ framework provides educators with a practical and evidence-based framework focused on supporting the planning and implementation of both student and professional learning. In the same way that teachers work to identify the learning needs of their students, it is important that PLC’s identify the learning needs of their adult learners in order to develop the most appropriate instruction for students in their classroom.

Accelerating student growth and achievement within the context of post-COVID teaching and learning demands that we leverage our expertise as educators to make decisions each day about what content, ideas, and skills we want our students to know, understand, and be able to do. We make decisions about how much time to spend on specific topics and how frequently to engage learners in that topic. We assess learners’ progress through high-quality assessments and decide when to intervene, on what, and at what level of intensity with each evidence-based activity.
