ASSIGNMENTS

APOLOGY LETTER

Letter(s) of Apology can be helpful if the participant does not know the victim personally, or if the panel feels it is important for the participant to apologize to the Victim or someone else in a formal way. Letters of Apology can also help the participant sort out his/her feelings about his/her actions, and understand the consequences of making poor choices. The agreement should specify the length of the apology by either word or page counts.

WRITING ASSIGNMENT

Research Paper(s) can be helpful by educating the participant on the impact of the incident. Writing assignments can assist participants with an opportunity for further reflection concerning the harms of their actions, or help come to an understanding of various public policy reasons behind the law that was broken.

Reflective Essay(s) are another variant of the typical writing assignment, which can be helpful by giving the participant a chance to further reflect upon the harms of their conduct to themselves and others.

* Topic points and further details for each writing assignment should be written out in the Writing Assignment Form. The agreement should specify the length of the paper by either word or page counts.

OTHER PROJECT

Other Project(s) can be devised during the Conference between the participant and Panelists. These projects can take any number of shapes. When assigning these projects, keep in mind that an effective agreement is specific, measurable, attainable, reasonable, respectful, timely, and restorative (SMARRT-R).

Examples of other projects include: “Create a list of __ items [volunteer opportunities, resources, friends to call for a ride home, personal goals, etc.]”, “meet with ______[academic counselor, a preexisting personal therapist, benefits specialist at HHSA, etc.]”, “develop and write out a plan to prevent future [noise complaints, anger management issues, etc.], presentations to peers, photography/art projects, etc.
