About the Course

The Nonviolent Communication course is a book study that that builds on the Restorative Practice of restorative dialogue and conversations. The book study will encourage collaboration and discussion among the participants in the course as a way to practice the strategies. Participants will also have the opportunity to consider how they can use the strategies in their personal and work environments. 

Nonviolent Communication is an approach that focuses on the skills of stating observations, identifying and expressing needs, and making requests.  The book offers personal stories, practice exercises, and role plays to develop your approach.  The book study is ideal for educators who are wanting to have more productive conversations with students, students’ families, and colleagues.  The book also provides structure that can help students learn how to express and advocate their needs.

Amazing information to use in and out of the classroom. The assignments are reflective and provide a way to implement techniques to deescalate discussions/conflicts in all interactions.
