- examine the theory underlying the practice
- create a fertile ground where staff, students, parents and community gain a common understanding of building and maintaining healthy relationships
- establish a learning environment where students feel safe and are respectful, engaged and proactive learners
study evidence based research from pilot schools - provide an opportunity for schools to align their practice with AQTP.

- Fair Process
- Restorative Questions
- Theory of Affects
- Explicit Practice
