Help students own their choices and make things right with these restorative behavior reflection sheets for middle and high school. Instead of shaming "think sheets," these respectful reflection pages guide teens to tell what happened, notice what was going on inside, see who was affected, repair the harm and plan for next time. Includes 8 situation-specific sheets, a visual leveled version for special education, repair and re-entry plans, and teacher scripts.

How to use it
Teach the process first in two short lessons (advisory works well), then keep the sheets in a "reset folder" by the door. After a hard moment, wait until the student is calm, offer a sheet, hold a short private conference and agree on one repair step and one next-time step. Works for classroom teachers, deans, counselors, special education teachers, in-school reflection spaces and restorative programs.
