What Is Restorative Practice?

As we interviewed Lex, an Owen Middle 6th grade student, in the hallway of his school, a group of his classmates headed our way, dragging some large bags filled with recycling. As they did so, one of the bags broke and, while still miked for the interview, Lex asked, “Do you need any help with that?" His classmates shared their thanks but got the situation under control and soon disappeared. The interaction was over in less than thirty seconds, and yet Lex demonstrated some of the fundamental benefits of something called Restorative Practices.
