Join other like-minded educators in a dynamic two-day, in-person experience where you will discover Edtomorrow’s unique approach to Restorative Practices in schools. Edtomorrow is home to John Whalen and Denise “Circle Mamma” Holliday, the authors of the acclaimed bestseller and definitive “how-to” reference Classroom Circles.
Whether you are just starting your restorative journey, wanting to brush up or advance your knowledge and skills, or looking to build capacity within your building, you’ll find immense value in this training.
Everyone is welcome to attend: teachers (including aspiring teachers!), counselors, administrators, social workers, and anyone else who influences the lives of students.
Day 1 of this workshop will focus on the community building aspects of Restorative Practices. Participants will discover how the First Five and Classroom Circles can be utilized to build authentic classroom culture and take connections to the next level. The agenda includes:
- An introduction to Edtomorrow’s core foundations that lead to thriving school communities while supporting paths for individual and collective accountability
- Resources and strategies that strengthen current school-based initiatives
- An in-depth look into the dynamics driving the challenges we are seeing with student engagement and behavior
- Small group breakout sessions that build confidence in using the First Five within school learning environments
- Opportunities to experience the power of Classroom Circles
- Participants will receive tools and resources for constructing and facilitating Classroom Circles using Edtomorrow’s Circle building process
Day 2 will focus on how Restorative Practices creates pathways to guide students towards greater accountability. Participants will revisit how to effectively utilize the connections that have been established to reduce conflict and confrontation in schools. They will be equipped with Tier 1 and Tier 2 strategies aimed at managing classroom dynamics and student behavior more effectively. The session will underscore the importance of fostering positive relationships, highlighting how they lead to greater individual and collective accountability, reduce conflict and confrontations in schools, support harm repair, and ultimately strengthen the culture and climate of a campus. The agenda includes:
- A deeper dive into what Restorative really looks like in a school setting
- Analyze the 4 ways human beings manage conflict and confrontation
- Reflect upon how you communicate and operate as a Restorative Practitioner
- Utilize Edtomorrow’s Tier 1 classroom-wide strategies for addressing disruptions and behaviors
- Discover how Edtomorrow’s Tier 2 targeted interventions and Tier 3 intensive interventions promote student buy-in while taking personal accountability
- Experience Repair Structures that focus on repairing harm, return from suspension, and other challenging disciplinary situations
- Participant-led breakout sessions/activities using real-world scenarios to explore approaches to discipline
- An inspiring session conclusion that leaves participants excited and motivated to begin implementing immediately
During both days, you will engage in interactive breakout experiences, share insights, and build meaningful relationships. We guarantee you’ll leave the event inspired and ready to bring positive change to your educational community.
