The Restorative Justice website offers a variety of free resources that help educators introduce restorative practices in the classroom. Teachers can access downloadable guides, such as the Restorative Justice Principles and Practice Handbook, along with materials for children and youth that explain core ideas such as encounter, repair, and transformation. These resources support activities such as community-building circles, peer dialogue, and structured conversations to help students repair harm and strengthen relationships. The collection provides practical tools that can be adapted for classroom management, conflict resolution, and creating a positive, inclusive learning environment.

In the Classroom
Invite students to participate in a weekly circle where they respond to prompts on teamwork, empathy, or conflict resolution. Use circle guidelines from the website to help students practice respectful listening and speaking. Extend the practice of gratitude by having students anonymously post notes recognizing acts of kindness or helpful peer behavior. Present a classroom-appropriate scenario involving a disagreement. Have students work in small groups to role-play a restorative dialogue that focuses on acknowledging harm, expressing needs, and finding a collaborative solution.
