  • Making Amends: a Restorative Justice Approach to Classroom Behavior
    Making Amends: A Restorative Justice Approach to Classroom Behavior Cathy Smeltzer Erb Eastern Mennonite University Peyton Erb Harrisonburg City Schools Abstract Enticed by developing skills that would empower students to solve problems, take responsibility for their own actions within the classroom community, and model real-life processes for resolving conflict, a team of third-grade teachers responsible for nearly 100 students embarked on creating a classroom behavior system titled Making Amends. Framed by social learning (CASEL, 2017) and principles of restorative justice (Evans, Lester, & Anfara, 2013), the approach promotes student-initiated protocols to resolve classroom conflicts. When harm has been caused, the offending student selects a sentence frame from the Making Amends binder to name the harm, take responsibility for the harm caused to persons or the classroom, and identify an action to repair the harm. As a result of the Making Amends system, teachers report decreased teacher involvement in resolving classroom conflicts, enhanced instructional focus by the teacher, and increased student ability to self-manage behavior and take responsibility for actions. Classrooms are microcosms of society where children learn the social and emotional skills necessary to become engaged citizens in society. As promoted by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL, 2017), social and emotional learning in the classroom involves the development of self-awareness, social awareness, responsible decision making, self-management, and relationship skills. Developing these skills requires that children are provided with opportunities to recognize the impact of their behavior on others, empathize 91 with others, constructively engage decision-making and problem-solving processes, regulate one’s own emotions and behavior, and constructively negotiate conflict.

  • The Anonymous Groups
    The Enduring Legacy: the anonymous groups The apology that launched a million amends By Jay Stinnett, Los Angeles July 27th, 2008, marked the 100th anniversary of Frank Buchman’s Spiritual Awakening – one that directly linked him to the cofounders of AA. As a young man Buchman gave everything he had to establishing a shelter for homeless boys in the slums of Philadelphia. The shelters success surpassed his budget and the six-member board of directors insisted that he cut the amount of food being given to his charges. He quit instead of cutting back. Resentment consumed him. His family despaired that he might not come to his senses. His work was destroyed by what he saw as the short-sightedness of others. His health was well past the breaking point. “Everywhere I went, I took me with me,” he later said. During a trip to recuperate in Europe, he exhausted the funds his father gave him and existed on the kindness of his family and the generosity of acquaintances. Tired and dejected he went to an Evangelical Conference in Keswick, England, hoping to connect with F.B. Meyer, a famous minister he knew, for spiritual help. Meyer was not in attendance; another plan gone awry. July 27, 1908, thirty year-old Frank Buchman, a Pennsylvanian Lutheran Minister, walked into an afternoon service with 17 other people to hear Jessie Penn Lewis preach on the cross of Christ. And then it happened. As Buchman sat in that Chapel, “There was a moment of spiritual peak of what God could do for me.

  • The Amending Process in the House of Representatives
    The Amending Process in the House of Representatives Christopher M. Davis Analyst on Congress and the Legislative Process Updated September 16, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov 98-995 The Amending Process in the House of Representatives Summary Most amendments that Representatives propose to legislation on the House floor are offered in the Committee of the Whole. Measures considered under suspension of the rules are not subject to floor amendments, and few amendments are proposed to bills and resolutions considered in the House or in the House as in Committee of the Whole. The House’s procedures recognize distinctions between first- and second-degree amendments, between perfecting and substitute amendments, and among amendments in the forms of motions to strike, to insert, and to strike out and insert. An amendment in the nature of a substitute proposes to replace the entire text of a bill or resolution. All amendments must be germane to the text they would amend, and they are subject to other general prohibitions such as that against proposing only to re-amend language that has already been fully amended. Additional restrictions apply to appropriations and tax amendments, and the budget process creates various other points of order that Members may make against certain amendments. In general, a Member must make a point of order against an amendment before debate on it begins unless that point of order is waived by a special rule. Under an open amendment process in the Committee of the Whole, measures are usually considered for amendment one section or paragraph at a time.

  • Step Nine Made Direct Amends to Such People Wherever Possible
    Step Nine Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. As we started working Step Nine we began to realize the deep and meaningful connections from Step to Step that culminated in our arriving at this one. The very same defects of character we unearthed in Steps Four and Five and asked to be removed in Steps Six and Seven were responsible for our regrettable acts toward others. In these four Steps we looked inward and began to be freed of the pain that our character defects were causing us. In Step Eight we then looked outward and made a thorough list of those people we had harmed because of those defects. Now in Step Nine, we began to finish clearing up the wreckage of our past by making amends to those we had harmed. However, the thought of making amends for the harms we had done was frightening for many of us. We still carried the emotional wounds of our childhood, which told us that being vulnerable and admitting mistakes carried a heavy price of humiliation, shame and punishment. Prior to recovery we rarely received compassion or understanding when we made mistakes or did things that we knew were wrong. So we may have felt dread or terror when thinking about approaching people we had harmed because of our sexual acting out or our character defects. We wondered how they would react. And we felt concern for our sobriety. What if contact with them would make us want to act out again? This was where our previous work in the program aided us.
