Restorative Practices in our District 

By fall of 2021, all teachers, administrators, as well as some staff members, students, and community members will have received two full days of RP training.  These trainings include:

• Day 1: Introduction to Restorative Practices In this training, participants learn practical strategies to build strong, healthy relationships with students, families, and colleagues. Interactive experiences bring participants to a full understanding of the fundamental unifying premise of restorative practices—that people are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive changes in their lives when those in positions of authority do things with them rather than to them or for them.  Book 

• Day 2: Using Circles Effectively Circles facilitate conversation and encourage full participation to help promote truly meaningful communication. Through video, practice, and discussion, participants identify reliable methods for using circles to build community, establish norms and address behavior and relationships.  Book
