Building Empathy

Being “in council” helps students develop attention, concentration, and listening skills; to express themselves fully and appropriately; and to suspend preconceptions.

Council as a Restorative Practice

Not only does Vista use Way of Council to build community, it is also used to restore relationships and trust when needed.
