Restorative Practices for Canadian Educators

Foster positive classroom and school culture.

During this two-day introductory online experience, you will learn fundamental theory and practices for engaging with students, staff, and parents in your school setting.

Topics include how to set high expectations while being supportive, how to provide direct feedback and ask questions that foster accountability, and the most effective methods to resolve common conflicts.

You will also learn to facilitate circles, an essential process for creating a positive learning environment and school culture. Circles may be used to build connection, resolve social problems, and respond when harm occurs.
