Don’t wait for the challenge – or the behavior – to arise. You can engage with your youth now to foster a culture of respect, understanding and success by proactively establishing program norms – with your youth. In this workshop you will participate in a norm writing experience so that you can facilitate this activity with your youth.
80% of restorative practices should be proactive and 20% should be reactive. That means that you should be working to address behaviors regularly before you have disciplinary issue. This webinar offers strategies you can use to create a peaceful learning community.
Despite our best intentions, and best preventative measures, behaviors occur. But figuring out a consequence is not your only option. This webinar offers strategies on hosting a restorative circle to put your youth and your community in the lead.
