Restorative practices are rooted in restorative justice principles and aim to create a culture of empathy, respect, and collaboration within communities, organizations, and institutions. By incorporating core values, relationship building, harm repair, restorative processes, community engagement, and continuous learning, participants will learn how the restorative practice framework supports the development of a restorative and supportive environment that fosters healing, growth, and positive transformation. Participants will participate in 10 days of training over the course of the year earning a Pathways 2 Restorative Leadership certification at the completion of all workshops. The participating schools in this training include: Washington, Grant, Lincoln, Lanphier, Springfield High, and Springfield Learning Academy.
