With student discipline concerns on the rise and classroom management systems falling apart, here's a resource that might help. These Restorative Response Cards give educators clear language and manageable steps for four common classroom challenges:
- Trauma-sensitive responses
- Emotional regulation
- Behavior and repairing harm
- Motivation and engagement
Each one-page card includes a realistic classroom moment, a scripted first response, immediate actions, and follow-up prompts. The focus is on protecting student dignity, keeping expectations clear, and helping students return to learning.
