Restorative Practices
In Ladue School District, we utilize restorative practices to proactively strengthen the community and heal harm in ways that uplift, empower, and honor dignity. Restorative practices are built on the mindset that connectivity and a sense of belonging are crucial to the well-being of individuals and the community as a whole. The goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment for all community members with authentic relationships as the centerpoint. When harm occurs, it is addressed in inclusive ways that preserve these relationships while holding individuals accountable.
The link below provides introductory information on using restorative practices in schools, proactive ways to build community, and responsive practices for addressing harm. Elementary and secondary quick link guides are also linked below, including a wide range of resources.
