Transforming School Culture through Restorative Practices

The central goal of this course is to shift the culture of the school through the use of restorative practices. In order for this shift to occur, youth and adults must be at the table in a true partnership. This learning community is unique in that youth will sit side-by-side with adults as they work together to craft and implement a culture shift in their schools that supports equitable opportunities, engagement, and empowerment.  Schools at all phases of implementation, learning and growth will be supported through this process.
