Relationship-Centered Learning is the foundation of all restorative practices. As the name restorative practices suggests, we are trying to restore a relationship to what it once was before harm occurred. Logically, we cannot restore what was not there in the first place. 

Therefore, we suggest starting the year with plenty of relationship-building activities and including these throughout your lesson plans to sustain their impact all year.  Click the button to the right for our department's repository of relationship-centered learning resources.
