(A fresh session will begin every 15 minutes, starting June 12)

As Restorative Practices (RP) are becoming more widely utilized, the need to implement RP with the intention of affecting lasting, sustainable systems change has become clear. It is only through a thorough understanding of the philosophy of Restorative Practices, system staff buy-in and thoughtful engagement that restorative culture can thrive. RP, when embraced as a culture change, teaches lifelong social-emotional skills and builds a strong, caring community with fewer harmful acts and a process for addressing harm when it does occur. This workshop will illustrate the need and provide tools to engage in the RP process.
