Restorative practices are a way of strengthening relationships and connections with communities through the use of a series of approaches and tools.

Shifting from punitive to restorative discipline is behind the Restorative Practices mindset.

The Circle Process is the foundational piece of Restorative Practice.

• • Check-ins
  • Group reflection
  • Review of content
  • Strengthen relationships
  • Refining communication skills 
  • Develop and showcase character strengths
  • Collaboration with peers
  • Valuing the opinion of others
  • Establish school community
