About Restorative Practices Training:
- Are you an educator wanting to help your students or colleagues better manage conflicts?
- Are you a leader looking for ways to gain buy-in and develop expectations and goals with your organization?
- Are you looking for resources and guidance on techniques for classroom management?
- Do you want strategies to support community members coping with stress or trauma they carry with them onto campus?
Spend two days digging into role plays, simulations, activities, and theory focused on supporting our community members not only academically, but also psychologically and emotionally. During the sessions you will gain facilitation, community building and conflict management techniques you can implement immediately.
Topics:
- Community Circles: Participants will actively engage in a community circle and delve into social-emotional community building approaches.
- Restorative facilitation techniques: Experience a session integrating restorative techniques into your facilitation skills and practices. Expand your own practice and share with others.
- Standards-Setting Role Play: Observe and participate in role plays to create community standards. These have been used in many contexts including organization vision, mission and goal-setting, classroom management, and conflict resolution.
- Connecting with your community members: Learn a few lessons you can implement in your classroom or organization to create a positive environment where all members are included and accountable.
