Excited about our partnership with Lawrence Township Public Schools as we continue to grow the influence of Restorative Practices across the district.

Our training today, dubbed the Restorative Reboot, shed light upon the impactful work that is already occurring in the district with a focus on the future, and how we will extend upon and cultivate the capacity of all stakeholders.

I am thankful and grateful for the opportunity to work alongside an administrative team that is devout in their commitment to Restorative Practices.

It didn’t hurt that we had some fun too!

Our leadership team is embracing continual growth and development through training in restorative practices.

This journey underscores our commitment to fostering a nurturing, inclusive, and supportive environment for all students and staff.

By integrating restorative practices, we aim to:
🔹 Strengthen relationships within our school community
🔹 Promote accountability and empathy
🔹 Enhance conflict resolution skills
🔹 Foster a culture of respect and understanding

Our dedicated leadership team is actively engaging in this learning process, ready to implement new strategies and tools that will positively impact our district. Through continual learning and embracing innovative practices, we can create an educational environment where every student feels valued, heard, and empowered to succeed. 🌟🤝

Leading With Relationships is an introductory course for providing staff with the framework of Restorative Practices. Emphasis is placed on intentional community building practices that build the foundation for a restorative school community. Participants engage in circles, practice affective statements, draft affective communication, and begin to understand the work for Restorative Practices.

Two short videos, one is an explanation of fair process being enacted following a demonstration of a small impromptu conversation. The other is a non-sequential circle asking participants what they know about RP. We use this as a demonstration of how circles and their prompts, can serve as formative assessment tools.
