Event Information 13 pd hrsRestorative Practices promotes the building of school community through consistent and fair process. At the forefront of RP is the concept of relationships in the classroom and across the school; how to create and maintain them and repairing the harm when something goes wrong. When schools focus on responsibility and accountability it ensures that students achieve their best. Schools that employ these practices are safe and happy places; they are calm and orderly. In Restorative schools the community works together to set goals and methods to achieve them. When relationships are harmed the community commits to repairing them. This two day interactive and practical workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and skills to create a positive and productive learning environment using strategies from the Restorative continuum of practice. This is suitable for teachers, student managers and administrators.
