Inside Roosevelt High School's Intention Room

As a Restorative Justice-centered alternative to in-school suspension, the Intention Room™ delivers an effective strategy for preventing long-term out-of-school suspension, truancy, violence, mental health issues, and offers the potential to interrupt the school to prison pipeline. These spaces make use of the Intention Room™ associated practices to support the well-being of students and of the school community, including Restorative Practices.

Restorative Practices provide a pathway to strengthen community, build relationships among students and between students and staff, and increase the safety and productivity of the learning environment.

This interview with former Fly By Light Facilitator, Manny Salazar, takes you inside the Intention Room at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Washington, DC.
