• Guide Restoration: Facilitate restorative circles and one-on-one conferences that empower students to take accountability and repair harm.
• Support the Whole Child: Provide a structured environment where students can de-escalate, reflect, and learn self-regulation strategies.
• Collaborate with Staff: Partner with teachers and administrators to create re-entry plans that ensure students transition back to class successfully.
