What is a restorative practices coordinator?

Restorative Practices Coordinators are professionals who implement and oversee restorative practices within schools, organizations, or community settings. Their role involves facilitating restorative circles, mediating conflicts, and training staff or students in restorative approaches. They work to build positive relationships, address harm, and create inclusive environments by focusing on repairing relationships and fostering accountability. These coordinators play a key role in reducing disciplinary issues and promoting a culture of respect and understanding.

Collaboration with teachers, administrators, and families is essential to create a consistent and supportive environment for restorative practices to thrive.

Under the general supervision of the School Principal, the Restorative Practices Elementary Teacher facilitates student success and growth in academic, social, and interpersonal skills. This role prioritizes a relationship-centered approach to discipline, focusing heavily on proactively building a classroom culture of belonging, safety, and mutual respect.
Rather than relying on traditional punitive measures, this educator utilizes dialogue and collective accountability to repair conflicts, addresses the specific educational and emotional needs of individual students, and maintains an optimal, trauma-informed learning environment.

  • Academic Instruction: Develops and administers school elementary curriculum consistent with school district goals. Translates lesson plans into engaging learning experiences tailored to individualized and small-group instruction.
  • Assessment & Differentiation: Conducts ongoing assessment of student learning and modifies instructional methods to fit individual student needs, including students with special needs.
  • Professional Growth & Training: Continuously acquires professional knowledge in both educational pedagogy and restorative frameworks. Demonstrates a strong willingness to attend specialized restorative practices training and workshops.
  • Effective Communication: Demonstrates exceptional communication skills to encourage parental involvement, collaborate with administrators, and provide meaningful feedback regarding student academic and behavioral progress.
  • Record-Keeping: Organizes and maintains an accurate, legally compliant system for record-keeping, grading, tracking behavioral interventions, and reporting student attendance/achievement.
  • Collaborative Support: Coordinates with other elementary professional staff members (especially within grade levels) to evaluate curriculum, share restorative strategies, and actively participate in faculty meetings.
  • Supervision & Safety: Supervises students in activities out of the classroom during the school day, ensuring their physical and emotional safety. Administers standardized tests in accordance with District testing programs.

Equipment & Travel Requirements

  • Travel: Travels to school district buildings and professional development meetings as required.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
  • Relationship-First Philosophy: Deep understanding of how to manage a classroom through connection, mutual respect, and restorative justice principles.
  • De-escalation Expertise: Strong ability to remain calm under pressure and effectively defuse behavioral escalations.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills for navigating sensitive conversations with students, families, and staff.
  • Pedagogical Knowledge: Strong understanding of elementary school curriculum, child development, and differentiated instruction.
  • Data & Action Planning: Ability to utilize data information systems to analyze academic and behavioral trends to formulate proactive action plans.
  • Collaboration: Proven ability to establish and maintain cooperative, supportive working relationships with the school community.
