Restorative Practices (RP) are a way of being that is rooted in building healthy connections and repairing harm within a community. The use of Restorative Practices aligns beautifully with the Quaker tenets on which our schools are founded: equity, respect, truth, reflection, seeking peaceful resolution to conflict, accepting the unique gifts of each individual, and restoration of trust when harm is caused. In this highly interactive training, you will learn the essential components of Restorative Practices and Restorative Justice. Led by experienced Quaker Educators and trained IIRP facilitators, our work together will focus on:

• a fundamental understanding of Restorative Practices in schools 

• the mindset of a relationship-based approach to discipline and conflict resolution

• the process and practice of leading proactive community-building Circles

• how to lead Restorative Conversations and Healing Circles

• resources, reflection, and planning for effective classroom and school-wide implementation

• plenty of time to practice, practice, practice
