Building & Sustaining Community & Restorative Justice

Target Audience: Administrators, School Staff, Teachers

Instead of working “to” or “for” students and families, restorative practices focus on working “with” the community. Join this session to explore the building blocks of restorative practices and how to implement them to improve school culture and climate. Participants will learn practical strategies that engage and re-energize the learning community and how to integrate restorative practices with complementary approaches, such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, social-emotional learning, and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support. Participants will learn how to assess areas of strength and areas for growth in school culture and how to create and adapt action plans to support each other, students, and families throughout the year.

All professional development sessions use a trauma-informed approach and teach skills and practices that you can implement immediately. We highly encourage participants to join our weekly coaching sessions for a deeper dive into the challenges of implementation and practice. All Fall 2021 sessions will be held virtually on Zoom.
