About

This Restorative Education mind map template, titled 'Part A: Informing and Designing', provides a structured framework for educators and student wellbeing staff to design restorative interventions for students facing suspension. With 101 nodes across one sheet, it covers needs analysis, participant profiling, and curriculum design, including specific branches like 'Current situation' (highlighting issues such as 'Disengagement' and 'Violence') and 'Methodology' (detailing 'Voicethreads' and 'Hardcopy' options). The template serves as a comprehensive cheat sheet for developing cognitive and behavioural aims, such as 'Self regulation' and 'To reduce repeat offences', while addressing learner demographics, ICT skills, and required resources. It is organized into two main branches: 'INFORMING' and 'Designing Curriculum', making it a practical tool for restorative practice planning.
