Alternatives to Corporal Punishment
Return to Learning Mindset (RLM)
The Return to Learning Mindset (RLM) approach requires a shift in priorities: instead of asking “What should the consequence be?” teachers are encouraged to ask “How can I help this student return to the mindset of learning?” When a student is triggered—by a conflict with a teacher or a
comment by a peer—they become “stuck” in their brainstems.
Restorative Circles (RCs)
Restorative Circles (RCs) provide students the opportunity to reflect on their behavior, recognize its effect on others, and exchange the stories of their experiences. RCs require a culture of respect and understanding so students will feel encouraged to contribute meaningfully and listen intentionally.
