Being heard: how a listening culture supports the implementation of schoolwide restorative practices
Abstract
Schoolwide restorative practices (SWRPs) are intentionally designed to create safe spaces for caring dialogue, where students and adults alike speak honestly and openly with each other. Data presented in this article were derived from a larger mixed-methods multi-site case study of two Oakland Unified School District middle schools that had adopted SWRPs and provide support for addressing the questions: (a) How do principals, teachers, staff and students perceive being heard in middle schools that have adopted SWRPs; and (b) How does a listening culture contribute to creating a positive, healthy relational ecology that supports schoolwide change and reform efforts? This study provides evidence that a listening culture built on relational trust can contribute to a positive relational ecology that supports members of a school community as they go through the challenging and sometimes difficult process of changing their school culture.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
