Frequent Questions
What is Restorative Practices?
Restorative Practices can be defined many ways. We define it as:
A set of daily practices guided by the belief that people are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive choices when guided toward independent, self-aware, and self-validating thought processes.
In our intro Restorative Practices training, you can expect to learn and understand the origins and philosophy of this foundational methodology. You'll also experience a circle and explore the easy pathway to integrating these practices into your teaching right away. In the higher levels of training, Restorative Practices 1, 2, and facilitator levels, you'll gain an in-depth understanding and develop your own style of teaching others this transformational practice.
Watch our calendar for other specialized workshops as well, covering such topics as team teaching, classroom management, working with special needs students, and more throughout the year.
