Restorative Practices Summer Educators’ Institute (In-Person)
Restorative Practices Educators’ Summer Institute
The Restorative Practices Educators’ Institute is a 3-day course designed for teachers, administrators, and wrap-around staff to learn and practice the foundations of restorative practices in a school setting. Days 1 and 2 of the Institute are dedicated to learning the foundational philosophy and day-to-day classroom implementation of restorative practices. Day 3 is designed to discuss and practice facilitating formal harm repair circles, used to address high-level and repeated harms.
Restorative Practices Summer Institute objectives:
- Define key terminology related to restorative practice implementation, including: “restorative practices”, “conflict”, “harm”, “informal conversations”, “formal harm repair circles”, “community building circles”
- Plan and facilitate community building circles that include age-appropriate activities for the students in their classrooms
- Practice engaging youth in non-violent conflict navigation through employing affective questions and “I”-statements
- Explore the formal harm repair process by engaging in role play practice as facilitators, support people, the person who caused harm, and the person harmed
- Identify the next steps needed for their schools/organizations to make paradigm shifts away from punitive responses to conflict and toward restorative responses to conflict
After attending the Restorative Practices Educators Institute, teachers, administrators, and wrap-around staff will have a strong foundational understanding of restorative practices and create action steps to begin or strengthen the implementation of restorative practices in their schools.

What are Restorative Practices?
We define Restorative Practices as an approach to achieving equity and justice through building strong community relationships and collectively identifying and addressing harms, needs and obligations in order to heal when harm is done.
