Restorative Practices Training

Nurturing School Excellence through Restorative Practices

Rooted in the principles of Restorative Justice, Restorative Practices serve as a framework to cultivate healthy and productive educational settings. By fostering respectful dialogue, improving communication, and enhancing mutual understanding, these practices contribute to an elevated school environment. Rather than allowing classroom dynamics to escalate into conflict, Restorative Practices offer a proactive approach to strengthen your school's culture and community while addressing everyday conflicts before they escalate.

Restorative Practices provide a structured process that encourages diverse perspectives, creative problem-solving, equitable decision-making, and facilitates difficult conversations. The focus is on building, maintaining, and repairing relationships within your classroom, school, and with parents.

Recognizing that students thrive when treated with dignity and respect, coupled with a sense of connection and belonging, Restorative Practices influence the school's culture. This, in turn, has a substantial impact on creativity, motivation, productivity, and overall satisfaction for Southworth, allowing students to ultimately become the best versions of themselves.
