We have created a practical guide to support educators in repairing harm caused by collective punishment, and we invite you to make it your own by exploring its frameworks, adapting its language, and embedding its principles in your community. Whether you lead a staff meeting, coach a colleague, or sit down with caregivers, this resource can serve as a roadmap toward genuine accountability and renewed connection.
We also want to learn from your lived experience. Have you led a circle to acknowledge impact? Facilitated one-on-one restorative conversations? Co-designed classroom agreements with students? Share the strategies that helped you rebuild trust and honour dignity. Your insights can illuminate paths we have yet to chart.
Please visit our news section to read the full guide and leave your recommendations in the comments, or reach out directly if you’d like to contribute a guest post or case study. Together, we can transform moments of rupture into opportunities for collective growth.
