OUR MISSION

Mission & Vision

The mission of Justice Is Joy is to guide educators in developing inclusive and restorative school cultures that basket the value of joy by prioritizing student identities and perspectives, staff wellness, and anti-racist instruction.


We support this mission by partnering with administrators, teachers and support staff to uncover diverse solutions for:

  • Increasing Student Attendance and Engagement
  • Creating Restorative Responses for Challenging Behaviors
  • Designing Equitable Instructional Practices

PHILOSOPHY

We believe culturally responsive Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) create strengths based educational programs where students thrive, needs are met, and challenges are opportunities to promote healing. The collective impact is not only seen, but felt.
