Center for Peacemaking and Conflict Studies of Fresno Pacific University Discipline that Restores now has its own Facebook page! Check it out.
Discipline That Restores by Ron and Roxanne Claassen is the long-awaited collaboration of pioneers in the fields of conflict resolution, (peer) mediation, restorative justice and restorative discipline. Discipline That Restores articulates a reproducible step-by-step process to increase cooperation and mutual respect. ...Each chapter is a step on the DTR Flowchart and is illustrated with a multitude of case studies. Discipline That Restores (DTR) uniquely blends theory, strategies, and best practices of Conflict Resolution Education, Peacemaking, and Restorative Justice. Understanding the core issues of getting students to cooperate has never been so clear and concise. DTR supports the positive behavior of all students and is especially effective with those students who are most resistant to authority by involving them in processes that empower them to be responsible and accountable. DTR transforms discipline into learning experiences that decrease stress, improve effectiveness, and build relationships. Training and graduate education are available through Fresno Pacific University.

California Avenue in the city of Fresno. Gwen Chandler-Rhivers, a restorative justice practitioner and peacemaking circles trainer, is coming as our guest from Minneapolis. This training will support our existing Community Justice Conferencing project at the new Juvenile Justice Campus. In addition, it will bring together community, religious, business, school, and juvenile justice leaders to learn from one another�s experiences and responses to engaging youth violence and systemic cycles of crime in our communities, families, and schools. From this training, we hope that prospective trainees will continue either as a Peacemaking Circle facilitator or participant in the ongoing effort of action and education in the area of youth violence and systemic cycles of crime. Attached you will find a three-page document on this kind of training.
