Restorative Practices are a continuum of research-based informal and formal strategies to develop community in schools where adults do things WITH youth rather than TO or FOR them. As a prevention and intervention approach to discipline, restorative practices provide an alternative to suspension and can integrate into a school’s multi-tiered system of behavioral and social emotional supports. In this training, participants will learn practical strategies to build strong, healthy relationships and community through the Restorative Practices Continuum. • Day 1 (4 hours): Introduction to Restorative Practices: Learn practical strategies to build strong, healthy relationships and community.
