What is Restorative Practice?

What do we actually mean when we talk about restorative practices?

Restorative practices help students build relationships, take responsibility for their actions, communicate through conflict, and participate in repairing harm when something goes wrong.

When students are given the tools and opportunities to work through challenges, they learn skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
