Restorative Practices/School Climate

This one-day Restorative Practices training provides the necessary information for establishing the requisite conditions to develop and nurture a school culture based on high quality relationships among all school community members. The goal of creating a positive community that is trauma-free, is of paramount importance because as educators know, all learning is relational. This training maps pathways to achieving and sustaining such a culture with theory and strategies that shift the focus from rules broken and delivering punitive consequences (which are context blind), to focus on the harms done in the breaking of rules and providing appropriate restorative consequences, which are far more equitable and context dependent when holding people accountable. This training also introduces the systems that are necessary to support strong relationships among all school community members (students and adults) and repair them when harms have been done; necessary to holding people accountable for their actions. Attendees will learn that working restoratively is a social/relational rather than a behaviorist model. Embracing restorative practices is not a program but rather a way of thinking, being and operating in the day-to-day. The training helps educators understand why the new CT legislation (P.A. 23-167, pages 56 – 67) which encourages schools/districts to work restoratively is an appropriate and positive direction toward improving student chances for success academically and behaviorally and includes concrete and practical strategies for establishing appropriate classroom and school-based routines as well as conducting circles and conferences in primary prevention as well as intervention contexts.
