Restorative Research
Our approach is centered on restorative practices which research shows improves school climate, enhances learning, and positive development of young people. It promotes safety, inclusion, respect, and positive healthy relationships. Restorative practices are positively correlated with lower reliance on exclusionary discipline, an improvement of school climate and student attitudes. A decline in disciplinary problems, truancy, and dropout rates are also correlated with a restorative approach.
