What is it we want students to learn through our discipline practices? How do we encourage students to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do? How do we encourage students to take responsibility and be accountable for their words and actions? How do we do this through a trauma-sensitive lens?
Conflict is a normal part of life and growing up for students and adults. How are we intentionally building relationships in our school and classroom, so that when there is a conflict, it can be used as a teaching and learning opportunity?
How do we bring to life a Welcoming, Caring, Respectful and Safe learning environment as outlined in Bill 10?
Restorative practices move away from more traditional discipline and consequences to focus on relationships and repairing harm. Participants in this one-hour session will learn ideas about:
- principles of restorative justice and restorative practices
- restorative practices how they can be used in classroom and school settings, during non-conflict time, and integrating them in curriculum
- differentiated education is now a mainstream practice, how do we adapt discipline to also be differentiated to meet students' individual needs?
- what is a community conference
- how to begin the journey towards a restorative school culture
- intentional relationship building
- how schools within Edmonton Public and other districts are applying these principles in their settings
This one-hour session is the introduction to what is designed as a full day, plus 3, 2 ½ hour follow-up sessions, professional development workshop. It will touch on the highlights and principles of restorative practices in the classroom and school setting.
