Restorative Practices - 3 Day Intensive

Description

This section creates the foundational philosophy for Restorative Justice. We focus on understanding the principles of RJ and applying the principles of RJ to the classroom. Beginning with the classroom/community building Circles this simple practice is essential to building a strong and inclusive community. We will continue to develop skills and strategies to address harm and conflict. These strategies include accountability circles, group author conferences, and restorative conferences. We will explore the role of authors, victims, support persons, community members, and facilitators. All the while thinking about how to maximize the priorities of RJ in any "conference."
