Restorative Practices for Educators Training Day 2 (NDCS Only)

Building and strengthening relationships and community is a critical component of school culture. Restorative practices is an essential process for creating a positive learning environment, building social capital, and resolving relational issues. 

During this two-day introductory experience (Day 2 will occur later), you will learn the fundamental theory and practices for engaging with students, staff, and parents in your school setting. 

Topics include the importance of being explicit about practice, how to set high expectations while being supportive, and ways to build community in your setting. We will discuss giving direct feedback and asking questions that foster accountability, as well as utilizing effective methods to resolve common conflicts.
