Establishing Restorative Agreements and Norms

Co-developing shared student-staff expectations for engagement and behavior will help set the stage for learning throughout the year. Successful restorative classroom agreements include a clear pathway for accountability and repair, as well as a process to review agreements throughout the year. In this session, teachers, behavior and restorative justice staff, social workers, instructional coaches and deans will explore the restorative mindset behind group agreements, learn the essential elements to make them effective and develop a framework for facilitating the creation of a restorative agreement in their own classroom spaces.

Facilitated by: Lisa Shaw, MS, Floyd N. Bronson, MA, MAHS
