Restorative Practices
Restorative practice is a strategy that seeks to repair relationships that have been damaged, including those damaged through conflict. It does this by bringing about a sense of remorse and restorative action on the part of the offender and forgiveness by the victim.
Restorative Practices shift the conversation between teachers and students to be less punishment-oriented and to offer an opportunity for all people affected by an action to have dialogue about how to make things right and restore the classroom community

Second Step Program
Second Step Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Program is taught in the classroom as a curriculum and gives students the tools to excel in and out of the classroom. The program helps garner outstanding school wide improvement and helps students make progress in emotion management, situational awareness, and academic achievement.
Mindfulness Classrooms
A mindfulness classroom helps students and staff manage their stress more effectively and work through it more quickly. Frequent mindfulness practice—even micro-sessions, are taught in the classroom so students can become aware of their thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens. Practicing mindfulness, in classrooms helps students thoughts tune into what they are sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future. Research suggests that classroom mindfulness programs can improve cognitive performance as well as resilience to stress.
