This interactive workshop will explore how restorative justice (RJ) practices and mindfulness-based strategies can transform student conduct and classroom management approaches. Rather than focusing on punitive discipline, we will examine how restorative and mindful approaches foster deeper accountability, empathy, community building, and healing. Workshop participants will gain practical tools for addressing conflict, behavioral disruptions, and harm in ways that support student growth and foster inclusive learning environments.

As part of this session, Professor Jessica Hooper will share examples of short, accessible mindfulness practices that faculty can easily integrate into their classes to promote emotional regulation, focus, and a sense of calm. These techniques are especially helpful in moments of tension in the classroom.

In addition, we will provide an overview of the Just Report It webpage and the CARE report process, offering clear guidance for faculty and staff who have concerns about a student in their classroom or program.
