Restorative Practices and full school restorative approaches have been gaining support in education across the country in recent years. With new Vermont legislation promoting alternatives to exclusionary discipline set to take effect soon, educators have identified a need for intentional, sustained implementation of these practices.
This course leads educators through the underlying philosophy of Restorative Practices and how to intentionally and sustainably implement Restorative Practices in their classrooms and schools. This course draws from the International Institute for Restorative Practices’ Restorative Practice for Educators curriculum in addition to other sources and approaches to present a comprehensive understanding of Restorative Practices. We will investigate how RP blends with already established systems, such as Responsive Classroom, PBIS, SEL, and trauma-informed practice, as well as possible pitfalls and areas of resistance. Participants will create a plan for implementation in their respective contexts and work to support each other in those efforts.
Audience: Administrators, school counselors, classroom teachers, school resource officers, paraeducators, and anyone who deals with students
