Making Things Right is designed to be used in several ways: 1.
Making Things Right provides Activities that build student understanding of the Mediation process and gi.
Students will learn some theory and be encouraged to develop their own theories for why we are interested in learning about new strategies for problem solving, and they will participate in lessons that will Teach a specific process to use for problem solving and peaceMaking as individuals in relationship with others and as mediators.
Lessons are designed to help students learn and become equipped to understand and implement Conflict and peaceMaking theory, skills and strategies.
It is important for students to have as much knowledge of this structure and process as their teachers and school administrators so all are better able to constructively resolve conflicts together.
Discipline that Restores gives teachers and administrators the knowledge and skills for implementing Restorative Justice Discipline in the classroom and school.
It is especially helpful for educating students about the theory, skills and strategies used in Discipline that Restores, also by Ron and Roxanne Claassen.
Our preference is to use the lessons with the entire class so all have the skills and strategies to be peaceful problem solvers.
Making Things Right is designed to be used both for whole-class trainings in which lessons are taught on a daily basis spread over several days for one to two weeks, and for two-day student mediator training seminars.
The time listed for each activity is an approximation and provided to help the teacher determine how they want to combine or use individual Activities to fit their time frames.
