How to Use in the Classroom?

• Morning Meetings: Have the poster visibly accessible for everyone. Go over each agreement with the class to discuss how this looks like, sounds like, and why is this agreement important during circle time. Refer back to poster when needed.

• Restorative Justice (RJ) Circles: Use the poster as a reference and frame the expectations of a group circle when addressing/discussing about incidents that had caused harm. Have students each read aloud an agreement until all are said before starting the RJ circle discussion.
