 To thrive, youth and adults alike need to

be loved;

 to be loved we need to belong.  When we belong, we learn to trust, and

when we trust we experience our interconnectedness.

 Educational institutions have significant

potential for nurturing cultures of belonging.

 Yet, in spite of our best efforts, students,

educators, and parents often experience school culture as alienating and fear- based so that learning is limited.

 Adversarial approach: the more you

punish the less likely they will do it again;

 Restorative approach: the stronger the

relationship the less likely we will act inappropriately towards each other (IIRP, 2000)
