About the Course

Restorative Practices (RP) has become a buzzword in education, but what exactly does this mean?  RP is an alternative to punitive approaches like suspensions, expulsions, and excluding students from the learning environment.  RP are about identifying what happened, who has been impacted, and how to make things right. This course is an opportunity for educators to become skilled restorative practitioners in their work settings with students and colleagues.  During sessions, participants will learn the philosophy of RP, become immersed in the practices, and create restoratives tools for their own work environment that can be implemented immediately, no matter the school’s current discipline model. Implementation of RP has the potential to transform a school community. At one middle school, behavioral referrals decreased by 81% from one academic year to the next after the implementation of RP.
