In-Person PD: Using Restorative Practices to Realize the Value of Relational Pedagogy

Location: In-Person, OSSE, Eleanor Holmes Norton Room 108

Description:  Target Audience: School Staff, Behavior and Mental Support Staff, Teachers

This workshop will examine how restorative practices enhance and make possible relational pedagogy. We will discuss what both concepts are, how they intersect, and the impact that both have on student behavior and academic and cognitive development. Participants will have an opportunity to practice developing agreements and learning circles that focus on building relationships while practicing restorative guidelines and circle components.
