After a serious peer conflict has been made safe, which response best reflects a restorative approach?

Correct answer: Establish accountability, repair harm and plan re-entry. A restorative approach establishes accountability, repairs harm, and plans re-entry.

• Keep the learners permanently separated without discussion. Permanent separation without discussion does not repair harm.
• Increase the penalty until neither learner wishes to speak. Increasing penalties is punitive rather than restorative.
• Ignore the incident once ordinary lessons resume. Ignoring the incident leaves the harm unaddressed.
