Glenallan Restorative Justice

What is Restorative Justice?

Restorative Justice is a mindset and philosophy toward school climate and relationship building. Important components are:

• Proactively and intentionally developing relationships and building community.

• Restoring, repairing, or healing the school community when harm has occurred

The focus is on education, learning from mistakes, identifying and working on the root of the behavior, making deep-level change, repairing relationships, and restoring students and staff to the environment.

The Key Values of Restorative Justice include:

• Nurturing healthy relationships built on trust

• Fostering mutual respect between individuals

• Feeling a sense of responsibility for your community

• Repairing harm and transforming conflict

• Reintegrating back to your community if harm has been caused

A traditional discipline process asks:

 ● What rules were broken? 

● Who broke them? 

● How should we punish the offending student?

A restorative justice process asks:

 ● What happened? 

● Who was harmed? 

● Who is responsible for repairing the harm?
