In Person PD: RJ in the Classroom for All Learners

Description: Target Audience: Teachers, Teacher Supports, School Staff

This workshop is designed to explore ways that restorative practices can be used in the classroom. Teachers and school staff will gain skills and tools to incorporate restorative practices that will increase student engagement in academic and community content, promote consistent student attendance, and develop proactive systems to respond to student behavior. Participants will have the opportunity to practice energizers for classroom transition, literacy circles for reading comprehension and identify best practices for designing sustainable daily routines and procedures and clear expectations for the classroom community.
