Restorative Practices is a philosophy, not a curriculum focusing on building positive relationships and providing opportunities for community members to take responsibility for their behavior while remaining connected to the community. An intentional Restorative approach fosters a compassionate, relationship-centered culture.
Effective restorative practice and implementation is achieved through ongoing learning and practice that supports restorative practitioners in challenging harmful bias, gaining tools and strategies of practice, and building a community of restorative practitioners to lean on throughout the implementation journey.
At The Conflict Center, we provide workshops for everyone, regardless of your place in your restorative practices journey. Whether you are learning about restorative practices for the first time, or you are an experienced practitioner, all participants are able to find value and new learning in our restorative practice training workshops.
For more information about training sessions please contact our Restorative Practices Coordinator at 303.865.5624 or amber.ford@conflictcenter.org
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. After attending the Summer Educators’ Institute, participants receive a certificate of completion and are welcomed into a community of practice with their cohort.
