Vision – Creating a Culture of Care in Schools.
​
Mission – To use Restorative Justice Principles and Practices to foster culturally appropriate relationships and interactions.
​
Strategies – To support the mission by:

  • Teaching the principles and practices of restorative justice to educators so they, in turn, can train other members of the school community.
  • Observing teachers and training these teachers to observe other teachers in the principles and practices of culturally responsive relationships and interactions in classrooms.
  • Gathering information through interviews of ethnically diverse students, their parents, teachers, administrators, and other staff about the experiences of these students in school.​

Talking circles are the primary process for using Restorative Practices in schools to create a Culture of Care. Basically the process involves the use of a Talking Stick, where the person holding the Talking Stick does the talking, while the other people present listen. The Talking Stick is passed around the circle, allowing everyone a chance to talk, but without the requirement to talk.

The drawing to the left is shown to honor the origins of the Talking Circle with Native Americans.

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. – Dr. Tom Cavanagh
