Making Champions of Change

A reintegration meeting is a structured conversation held between the student, their family, and school staff upon the student’s return from a suspension or extended absence. Research underscores that restorative practices like reintegration meetings reduce suspensions and improve school climates (Evans & Lester, 2012).

Low burden, high impact strategies can make the difference for both educators and students.

For the first blog on this site, I felt it fitting to share my why with you. Although most subsequent blogs will share research and best practice, this blog I write as an informal invitation to begin a beautiful relationship of curiosity together. Just like many educators, my why is fundamentally the same but the way it has been shown and applied has changed with the shifting roles and responsibilities of the job titles I held. On the basic level, I strive to create positive change in education.
