14. WHAT IS RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND HOW CAN IT MAKE OUR SCHOOL CLIMATE BETTER? A means of focusing on repairing the harm done to people and relationships rather than just punishing offenders. Classroom Circles as a means of creating a positive and supportive classroom community. Fair Process as a Social Discipline Window  Students, teachers, and staff are happier and more likely to make positive changes when those in authority do things with them, rather that to them or for them.

15. RESTORATIVE CIRCLES Building Community and Enhancing Learning Connection to Rachel’s Challenge Restorative Circle Fridays Growing the Practice from Advisory to Your other Classrooms.
