Welcome to Restorative Justice Education
|
We are a community of educators, superintendents, school administrators, professors, researchers, school psychologists, social workers, consultants, and community organizers who are passionate about creating a Culture of Care in our communities! Restorative Justice Education implements researched and evidence-based trainings borne of indigenous roots to create a Culture of Care in our schools, at home, and among our various communities.
Through our series of virtual and in-person trainings, RJEd Facilitators teach the critical values of Restorative Justice principles and practices & culturally appropriate relationships, and how to implement them in the classroom, within a school, across the school district, in school programs, in human services organizations & programs, and within the home setting. |
What is a Culture of Care?A Culture of Care in Schools is characterized by non-dominating relationships, where adults and children feel a sense of belonging and connectedness, have a culturally safe place for their voices to be heard, and are able to be self-determining.
Watch this video featuring Hinkley High School (our pilot school in Colorado) to see how they have implemented a Culture of Care in their school. |
