Summary:
|
Douglas Alternative School administration and staff will participate in a three day training and year long coaching cohort to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to build robust connections with students, staff and families. They will learn and be supported in implementing practical strategies for proactively addressing conflicts, promoting healing and fostering repair within the school community, including intentional focus on the effective use of restorative, academic and community circles to enhance empathy, accountability and discipline Participating in the year-long cohort will provide them with initial training along with daily, expert coaching conversations throughout the school year supporting their ongoing professional development in trauma informed practices. This training is a part of our district-wide effort to support restorative instead of punitive practices with students and staff as we work to learn, teach, and implement positive behavior management in the school setting. Over the next several years, all schools will be trained in learning and implementing restorative practices through several district and community training opportunities.
