Creating restorative spaces, mindset and culture enable  students, staff  and families to feel safe, included, and engaged in the classroom. In this session we will explore what makes a classroom environment restorative and what to consider when designing your area to support youth engagement, safe brain-based learning spaces, healthy community building practices and Social Emotional Learning. In this session, teachers, behavior and restorative justice staff, social workers, instructional coaches and deans will have an opportunity to explore resources and design your own restorative classroom and/or school spaces.

All professional development sessions use a trauma-informed approach and teach skills and practices that you can implement immediately.
