Advanced Restorative Schools Training – Repairing Harm

Many schools have begun implementing restorative practices as a foundation for a positive school climate and community-building. Successfully implementing the values of restorative justice beyond Tier 1 in situations of harm and severe conflict (often seen at MTSS/PBIS Tier 2 and 3) entails a further set of skills. This training will provide participants the opportunity to learn, build, and practice the skills needed to facilitate problem-solving and harm-repair circles and address situations of severe conflict. In this two-day interactive training, you will learn:

• Applications of Restorative Justice values and practices in situations of harm and severe conflict which damage relationships in a school community
• Skills to facilitate restorative conferences and harm-repair circles
• Implementation resources to begin using restorative justice strategies in response to harm and situations of severe conflict in the school setting

*This training assumes participants have a foundational understanding of restorative justice, as well as an understanding and practiced use of Tier 1 applications.
