GOOD IDEA: Restorative Justice

What Is Restorative Justice?

“Restorative justice is a revolutionary program based on respect, responsibility, relationship-building and relationship-repairing. It focuses on mediation and agreement rather than punishment. It aims to keep kids in school and to create a safe environment where learning can flourish. And it appears to be working incredibly well.
” – Deva Delporto, WeAreTeachers.com
