Assessment & Evaluation Tools for Your Program
Effective assessment and evaluation tools are critical for schools that are implementing restorative practices and restorative discipline initiatives. Assessment and evaluation tools help create evidence-based programs and results that show grant makers, school administrators, and school staff that restorative practices work.Effective programs can pinpoint the exact problem to be solved and provide ongoing feedback so that the efforts can be revised as needed. A verified and sustainable positive culture and climate achieve its ideal when assessment and evaluation occur at all levels of the organization and among all stakeholders.Restorative Solutions offers comprehensive tools and services for assessment and evaluation at the staff, school building, and district levels, including the following:
1) Performance Review Standards and Expectations
- Development and/or review of employee performance measurement expectations and standards for Restorative Practices. Rubrics provided for Restorative behaviors, attributes, and practices for Administrators, and licensed and classified staff.
- Tools and coaching for administrators and staff on demonstrating, collecting, and documenting evidence for highly effective modeling and implementing Restorative Practices with students, staff, and community stakeholders
2) Evaluation, Growth, and Sustainability
- Training and implementation tracking system development at the grade, building, and district level
- Survey design and development for implementation and sustainability evaluation to include students, all staff, parents, and community stakeholders
- Evaluation of correlation between discipline referrals and Restorative Practices training and implementation

Restorative Solutions has recently been working with a large school district to further develop its assessment and evaluation tools. We began by developing evaluation instruments for some Denver Public Schools and have since continued to work on these instruments with a number of schools across the country.
We are excited to work collaboratively with schools and school districts to create meaningful tools that are empowering, realistic, and helpful in determining the success of restorative practices at all levels. Feel free to give us a call to talk about what resources we can provide and how we can help.
