Rapid Response Restorative Processes (Micro-Circles)

RJ and Student Behavior Institute:

Do you often experience that restorative responses to a conflict take much preparation or time? Micro Circles, a restorative process to a conflict between two or three people, allow for a rapid response to take place in the moment without a great deal of preparation. Participants will be introduced to this simple RJ process utilizing restorative questions and communication techniques. We will provide examples of adaptations from supporting early-age student conflicts to staff-on-staff conflicts. We will discuss when this process is best suited or when other RJ processes might be needed.
