Restorative Systems Coordinator

Restorative Systems Coordinator

AXL Academy - PreK–8th

The Restorative Systems Coordinator supports AXL Academy's school wide systems for restorative practices, student accountability, character development, and positive behavior support. This role helps ensure that students experience a safe, structured, inclusive, and high-expectations learning environment rooted in strong relationships, belonging, accountability, and repair.

The Restorative Systems Coordinator works proactively to strengthen school culture by supporting consistent routines, expectations, restorative responses, and student support systems across classrooms and common spaces. Rather than focusing only on discipline, this role emphasizes student growth, character development, de-escalation, restorative follow-up, family partnership, and staff support.

The Restorative Systems Coordinator works closely with Crew Culture Leaders, school leadership, teachers, students, families, counselors, and support staff to build and sustain a positive school culture aligned with AXL Academy's mission, values, and commitment to Engage, Empower, and Achieve. The title and revised framing build from the original Dean of Behavior responsibilities around behavior systems, restorative practices, student support, coaching, family communication, data, and safety, while also aligning with the Crew Leader emphasis on belonging, character development, restorative practices, accountability, and positive school climate.
