History and Heart of the 5R’s
A special guest post by Summer Deaton
The 5R Framework is the culmination of Dr. Beverly Title’s life work. Beverly was a pioneer in the field of restorative practices, and co-founder
of ReSolutionaries Inc. As an original appointee to the RJ Council in 2007, Beverly shared the 5Rs as
a compass for the newly forming RJ Council and gifted it for public access onwww.rjcolorado.org where it resides
today under Restorative Justice Resources. The RJ Council holds the 5Rs forth as one of the guiding documents for restorative justice practices in
CO. Although we lost Beverly in 2014, her legacy has clearly survived; evidenced by the consistent presence of the 5R’s at the recent statewide
Restorative Justice conference in Vail. In celebration of Beverly’s birthday month, ReSolutionaries would like to offer you a short history of
the 5R Framework and a free gift to help you take the 5R’s into the classroom.
