Advisory periods provide key opportunities to build community, develop communication, leadership, and self-awareness skills, deepen peer support, and create pathways for academic, career, and healthy relationship goals. In this session, middle and high school teachers, behavior and restorative justice staff, social workers, instructional coaches, and deans will create a vision and structure for advisory periods within a restorative framework. Participants will explore how to implement restorative practices–such as proactive topic-focused circles and restorative and conflict resolution-based activities–and encourage student engagement and leadership of these practices.
All professional development sessions use a trauma-informed approach and teach skills and practices that you can implement immediately.
