Your Training Description

Shifting to a restorative framework improves your interventions and give youth tools they can use in spaces that aren’t set up to empower them. You’ll have a stronger foundation for more effective communication and be better prepared to deal with your own discomfort, particularly in conflict situations. Learning the basics of restorative practices is vital to building systemic equity. You’ll develop plans for addressing the behavior challenges that bring you the most discomfort in your daily work. You’ll gain tools to help youth believe in their capacity, self-worth, and voice.

Your Learning Objectives

  • Explore the basic elements of restorative practices
  • Understand each element of the Restorative Practices Continuum and why they are important to system-wide equity in discipline
  • Learn how to use context to determine which restorative practice(s), at minimum, should be applied to address particular behavior challenges
  • Examine what adult or youth behavior challenges give you the greatest amount of discomfort to address
  • Understand how past and present culture, politics, and policy inform why restorative work is so vital today
