A Restorative Classroom

Help me give my students a space to learn, build community, and connect with one another.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Duba's classroom raised $954

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am a practitioner of Restorative Approaches and help coordinate restorative practices at my school. These items will transform my classroom into a welcoming and safe environment. Students will connect with me, with one another, and with the curriculum.

Community and connection are pivotal for student learning!

And in addition to my students in class, these tools will be helpful for students who are active in student leadership and the clubs that I sponsor. My classroom is used for Student Government, Debate, and Genders and Sexualities Alliance. These items will help my students in class and in extracurriculars to have fun, learn, and build a better Bowie community!

More specifically, the plants, lights, and bean bag chairs will help create a comfortable space when my classes and clubs engage in restorative community-building circle activities. The mini fridge and office chair will be used by me, the student government president, and other staff who share my classroom with me. The refrigerator and office chair will ensure that the classroom is an efficient and comfortable workspace. Furthermore, as all items will be the property of the school, future staff and student leaders will be able to use these items to support themselves and their students' learning!
