Restorative Practices at Windsor High School
The goal of Restorative Practices is to build social capital amongst our students, families, staff and community members. Social capital is a network of positive relationships that are based on: connectivity, shared values, trust and cooperation that build a healthy learning community. When these relationships exist, we can respond effectively to conflict, repairing and restoring the learning environment. We can also celebrate our successes, as a united community.
“Human beings are happier and healthier, more cooperative, productive and make positive changes in their behavior when those in authority do things with them, rather than to them.”
Ted Wachtel, Founder
International Institute of Restorative Practices
