Program Mission Statement: (self-reported)
School discipline is often modeled after a retributive system, where punishment equals accountability. Restorative Practices for School Communities strives to shift how people think about responsibility and accountability. By building a strong community, and allowing all members to take responsibility for the community, discipline takes on a new dimension. Repairing the harm becomes more important than the rule broken. When the ÏauthorityÓ administers discipline (punishment) the opportunity for the individual and the whole community to take responsibility and be accountable is lost. In a restorative setting, building competencies and finding solutions to problems becomes the focus.
