Restorative Practices for Educators

2 Day Training Event: March 10 and April 7, 2027 9am-3pm

Restorative practices empower educators to build stronger relationships, foster a positive school climate, and respond to conflict in ways that promote accountability and growth.  Participants will leave with practical strategies and ready-to-use circle protocols that promote belonging, increase student engagement, and foster a positive, inclusive classroom culture.  This training is open to all K-12 school staff.

What is Restorative Practices?

Restorative practices is a transdisciplinary field of study that examines how to strengthen relationships between individuals and improve social connections within communities.  Restorative practices are used in conflict resolution, creating dialogue, bridging gaps across divided groups, and building cultures where all members have a voice, work more effectively together, and become more innovative.

• In schools, restorative practices positively impact student behavior and school climate.  They create a sense of belonging, minimize harm, and support student learning while cultivating students who are better equipped to navigate complex challenges, self-regulate, manage conflict, and become better citizens.  They uncover the root causes of conflict and create a space to facilitate complex conversations to minimize harm, repair relationships, and identify solutions.

March 10 and April 7, 2027 9am-3pm.  Lunch is on your own.  Act 48 hours provided.  Participants must attend both training days in order to receive full credit.

In this session, participants will explore the foundations of mathematical fluency and its role in building mathematics proficiency. The instructional hierarchy and its critical role in guiding students from skill acquisition to fluency and generalization serves as an essential foundation for the session. Participants will learn to identify when students are ready for fluency-building instruction, as well as identify priority math skills for which fluency is essential for long-term success. The session also introduces assessment strategies to determine when fluency-building is the appropriate instructional match, ensuring alignment with students’ current skill levels. Finally, participants will learn how to implement fluency-building approaches effectively across all tiers of instruction—from Tier 1 whole-group strategies to targeted Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions—empowering them to support every student’s journey toward mathematical proficiency.

Objectives
Participants will be able to:

Describe the instructional hierarchy and its importance in developing students' mathematics skills
Describe an operational definition of fluency across academic and behavioral skills 
Identify priority skills in mathematics for which fluency is essential
Describe assessment approaches to identify when fluency-building activities are the correct instructional match for students' skill level
Describe approaches to fluency-building for implementation in Tier 1 (Whole Group) instruction, and in Tiers 2 and 3 (Small Group) intervention

This professional development opportunity will introduce teachers to structural differences in problem sets that support students' growth through the stages of the Instructional Hierarchy. The variance and organization of problem types during independent practice can either promote or hinder growth. It is important that teachers provide the right kind of student work to support the acquisition, fluency, generalization, or retention of mathematical concepts and procedures.

Objectives
At the end of this training, participants will be able to:

Create student practice aligned to acquisition stage of learning
Create student practice aligned to fluency stage of learning
Create student practice to promote generalization
Create student practice to promote long-term retention
