| Assumptions about Academic and Behavioural errors (Porter, 2007 as quoted in The Restorative Classroom by Belinda Hopkins) |
| ACADEMIC ERRORS | BEHAVIOURAL ERRORS |
| Errors are accidental. | Errors are deliberate. |
| Errors are inevitable. | Errors should not happen. |
| Errors signal need for teaching. | Errors should be punished. |
| Students with learning difficulties need modified teaching. | Students with behavioural difficulties need punishment. |
| 5 Key Restorative Themes and 5 useful questions |
| Theme | Language |
| Everyone has their own unique and equally valued perspective | What’s happened from your perspective? |
| Thoughts influence emotions, emotions influence actions. | What was going through your mind and how were you feeling at the time? And since? |
| Empathy and consideration | Who has been affected and how? |
| Needs and unmet needs | What do you need (so that things can be put right and everyone can move on? |
| Collective responsibility for problem solving and decision making | How can you (we)address all these various needs together? |
