Participants will learn the fundamentals of Restorative Practices (RP) and Circles through an interactive 2-day training. Workshops are designed to be active, engaging, and focused on both theory and practical strategies necessary to implement RP in classrooms and schools. Restorative Practices offers both proactive and responsive strategies for building and strengthening community. The approach helps to develop relationships among students and teachers which are essential for effective teaching and learning. When conflict arises, RP helps build the skills needed to manage the conflict and restore relationships.
There is a Day 3 of Restorative Practices (RP) for specific training in conferencing and responsive circles for administrator managed/office managed behaviors. Day 3 is scheduled for October 28, 2024 from 8:30-3:30 and has a separate Wisdomwhere sign-up.
