Restorative Practices 2.0: Circle Keeping & Using Circles to Teach
Restorative practices is a way of being that values relationships and refers to all things we do that build, maintain, and repair relationships. We know that many teachers and Educational Support Professionals have experience with Restorative Practices; therefore, we have designed RP 2.0 with greater emphasis on circle keeping, using circle to teach, and integration of circles into academics.
This session is for those who have some foundational experience in restorative practices.
In this interactive session, participants will:
- Develop circle facilitation skills while evaluating race, privilege and power
