School Culture & Climate

RP can have a significant impact on building the culture and climate of your school.

Here are some thoughts to get the ball rolling.

IRC (Intentional Relational Coaching) Framework

The IRC framework was developed as a practical implementation tool to assist individuals, schools and organisations attempting to use coaching methodologies and also relational / restorative apporaches.

Simple to use, but layered with nuanced meaning, it is ideal to have this unpacked with your group or organisation before broadscale implementation. It is designed to overcome a number of implementation challenges including operational isolation, as well as variable uptake of previous coaching frameworks.

RP can transform your Learning Culture

We look at 10 of the most important features of a productive and engaging learning environment, and we look into what that has got to do with RP in your school.

What are we all about?

In life, our relationships matter the most. Humans are made for good relationships.
Whether at work or home, good relationships don’t just happen, they are built.
More importantly they are maintained and repaired. We all have to grow and develop if we want to have healthy and productive relationships around us.

WhY RP?

Very few people, who have experience of RP would debate that a restorative approach to conflict and solving problems is the best.

By the best, we mean it works!

Relational Practice starts with our capacity and intent to build high quality, productive relationships. Restorative Practice assists in proper reparation of the physical, emotional and psychological harm, and most importantly allows for the repair and rebuilding of relationships.

This is an important step to resolve the shame and resentment that can lead to further problems.

We are dedicated to supporting productivity through quality relationships and helping people have the skills to manage their own relationships at work, and help organisations grow healthy relational culture.

Why Restorative People?

There are many ways you can get your hands on a script for a restorative conversation. That might be enough to help you out of a spot, but the success rate can be dramatically improved if you are confident having a restorative conversation, as your own. That comes less from memorising a script and more from being a Restorative Person.

The second thing that happens for restorative people is they soon realise the overlap and interconnectedness of Restorative Practice to all the other important things they do.

Teachers who prioritise relationships in their classrooms get different results from their students. Most expect to see changes in how behaviour management is done, (and that is no small thing!), but seeing change in the way people talk about behaviour management, and seeing them approach things differently is really just the tip of the iceberg.

A schools main priority is learning and that is the place where RP can have the most significant impact on the day-to-day experiences and outcomes for students. That equates to school engagement.

The ongoing effects of integrating RP flow into areas like relationships right across the school community, both in formal setting of management and leadership, but also the informal day to day work interactions.

If you can shift from a school that does restorative conversations as a one off or alternative, to a school who operates this way as a culture, then relationships between students, between staff and students, between staff and within the leadership structure all change for the better too. The impact is profound, and it all starts with a journey towards being a relational and restorative person, whatever your role is.

Restorative People believe there is more to RP than a script. You can’t be better at something you aren’t willing to grow in. Our goal is to help people in their work and in their teams to grow in all the areas of school that matter. You can’t do that following someone else’s script, you can only do that by becoming a Restorative person yourself.

There are opportunities for training to help you whether you are starting your journey or looking to continue it.
