Restorative Justice Education, a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation

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.

At the core of a culture of care is the idea of "building healthy and caring relationships." – Dr. Tom Cavanagh
