Building Restorative Practices

In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, the importance of building strong relationships within school communities has never been more critical. We invite you to participate in our three-day virtual institute designed specifically for school and district leaders who are dedicated to fostering connection and empathy through the implementation of restorative practices in their schools. Our experienced restorative justice educators will guide you through interactive sessions on circles, peer mediation, family group conferencing, peer courts, and more—and help you develop meaningful goals and strategies to cultivate a restorative culture within your school.

Embracing restorative practices and prioritizing relationship-building will lead to transformative results in your school community. Research has shown that when schools focus on nurturing relationships, they experience improvements in various key areas, including a more positive school culture, increased graduation rates, decreased chronic absenteeism, higher achievement rates, and reduced dropout rates. Restorative practices have also demonstrated success in addressing broken relationship issues, thus reducing the reliance on suspensions and promoting equity and social-emotional well-being. Please join us on this journey toward creating safer, more inclusive, and supportive learning environments that empower every student to reach their full potential.

Participant outcomes:

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices that underpin restorative justice and learn how to effectively implement these practices.
• Develop the skills and strategies required to foster stronger relationships within school communities.
• Work collaboratively to create a tailored action plan for implementing restorative practices in schools and districts.
• Meet like-minded educators who are passionate about creating positive change within their schools. This group will serve as an invaluable resource for ongoing collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and support as participants work towards implementing restorative practices in their respective institutions.

Audience:

District leaders and discipline or student support teams play a crucial role in shaping the future of education by creating safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environments.
