Teaching Restorative Practices with Classroom Circles

Restorative Practices are a framework for building community and for responding to challenging behavior through authentic dialogue, coming to understanding, and making things right. This training will describe how to hold restorative circles in classrooms. Step-by-step instructions will be provided for circles that build community, teach restorative concepts and skills, and harness the power of restorative circles to set things right when there is conflict. Using these methods consistently will help to create calmer, more focused classrooms. (West Central School District Only)
