Restorative School Practices of Maine, a division of the Restorative Justice Project, is offering three workshops in restorative school practices for summer 2013. Check the RJP website for further details and a registration link.
This three-day Summer Institute will introduce participants to the full range of Restorative School Practices. The Institute will include presentations, discussion, and practice using the Circle process, videos, and a panel of teachers and administrators who are using restorative practices in their schools.
This workshop introduces participants to Restorative School Practices that have proven effective and sustainable. The workshop format will include presentations, circles, discussion and video of restorative practices in action.
Building on the restorative philosophy, this workshop will focus on the conference process, where the person causing the harm is required to take responsibility and be accountable for his/her behavior. Participants will learn when to use the restorative conference process, how to prepare for a conference, and how to facilitate a scripted conference. This is a participatory workshop involving role-plays and facilitation practice with structured feedback.
*Requires previous training in restorative school practices. Summer Institute, Introductory or Circles course counts as previous training.
