SEL and Restorative/Holistic Discipline Notebook

So this is my prize possession as an administrator and something I wish I had spent the time to compile as a teacher-- my SEL/Restorative Discipline Notebook.  Using the CASEL framework as a starting point I have taken an assortment of resources and put them into color-coded sections to be able to utilize in the moment when working with students around prosocial behaviors or restorative practices.  Below is a brief explanation of what I keep in my binder to give you an idea of what works well for me.  I am a big believer in 'making it your own' so this is really intended to give you a starting place to inspire you to create something fantastic that aligns with your school's SEL/PBIS work and is supportive of your students.

Binder Sections:

• Copies of Investigation Note Taking and Investigative Protocol 
• Pink Tabs (Unrelated to CASEL): Community Resources, Apology Note Templates, Think Sheet Templates, School PBIS Expectation Lessons, and Community Service Menu copies.
• Orange Tabs (color-coded to correspond to CASEL): Self-Awareness Resources and Lessons, Self-Management Resources and Lessons 
• Green Tabs (color-coded to correspond to CASEL): Social Awareness Resources and Lessons, Relationship Skills Resources and Lessons
• Yellow Tabs (color-coded to correspond to CASEL): Responsible Decision-Making Resources and Lessons

Some of the Resources I Used to Compile the Binder Content:

• School PBIS Lessons and Materials
• Kelso's and KC's Choice Wheel Materials
• Second Step (District Adopted Curriculum) Materials
• Kids Health Online Articles
• "What To Do When..." Series by Dawn Heubner
• Don't Suspend Me! An Alternative Discipline Toolkit by J. Hannigan
