Using Restorative Practices in Schools

Restorative practices is a way of being that values relationships and refers to all things we do that build, maintain, and repair relationships. When being restorative we honor cultures and identities, ensure all voices are valued, and foster meaningful connections. This mindset naturally creates cultures where everyone is accountable and supported in striving to be their authentic selves socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

In this interactive session, participants will learn what it means to be restorative and how to use these practices when interacting with ourselves, colleagues, students, parents, and school partners. Participants will also learn how to create restorative classrooms from classroom set up to instruction.

This course is offered in a retreat-like environment Friday, October 20-Sunday, October 22, 2023. We will meet Friday from 6-8 p.m., Saturday from 9-5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 9:00-noon. Registration includes Friday evening appetizers, a light breakfast Saturday and Sunday and lunch Saturday and Sunday.
