This free resource utilizes restorative justice dialogue circles to reflect on and discuss the causes of anti-Asian racism, which has sharply increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. As schools prepare to reopen, students will likely be exposed to toxic anti-Asian racism, which can create harmful learning environments. This facilitation guide, developed in partnership with guest contributor and educator Sarah Appelbaum, uses restorative justice principles to foster empathy among students and other community members during difficult times.
Restorative Justice (RJ) is a philosophy and practice that centers relationship-building, repairing harm, and non-hierarchical communication. In contrast to more traditional, punitive methods of correcting student behavior, we believe that RJ can be an important tool for communities to come together and reflect collectively on the harms created by problematic behavior and ways to move forward in healing.
