Restorative Justice
What is Restorative Justice : In schools, implementing restorative justice is primarily about building and maintaining community. We then use that foundation of community to respond to harm and conflict. Long term cultural transformation is our goal. That starts with community! Once a restorative culture is created in a school, the focus can shift to responding to harm using RJ processes.
