Building Community in a Time of Chaos

In this interactive workshop, participants will engage in a community circle while exploring the ways restorative practices can repair interpersonal relationships in their schools. Participants will walk away with tools they can implement immediately in classrooms and principals’ offices alike to lower exclusionary discipline, increase equity, and empower students to take ownership of their actions while positively contributing to their school community.
