Restorative Practices: Practicing Caring Classroom Discipline Virtual Institute

Registration Pricing: $325 per person. 

Registration fee includes the eBook version of The Restorative Practices Playbook

Restorative practices are an alternative to punitive approaches to classroom management. These practices humanize the schooling experience and allow individuals who cause harm to make amends. Restorative practices rely on strong relationships as well as clear systems and procedures to ensure that harm is addressed. The impact is increased equity for BIPOC students as well as a reduction in exclusionary practices such as suspension and expulsion. But as importantly, students change their behavior as they come to understand the impact that it has.  

What to expect:

1. Understanding the rational for restorative practices. Discussing and analyzing restorative practices as a proactive approach to school climate, discipline and relationships.

2. Understanding and developing the key strategies to building relationships with students. Understanding the power of a relationship (teacher- student relationships .48 and teacher credibility 1.09) and how that can foster a safe environment. 

3. Discussing the importance of equity and how equity plays a role in every approach in a school setting from attendance to engagement to discipline. Looking at data to make proper decisions for growth.

4. Restorative practices are not limited to discipline.  Introducing and defining restorative grading and climate considerations.
