Session Description:

This day-long session will provide a framework for schools and youth-serving spaces to reimagine in-school suspension and other disciplinary interventions as opportunities for restorative practices and skill-building. Participants will examine the current methods and structures of their disciplinary interventions and gain tools for shifting those spaces in a more restorative direction through restorative conversations, circles, and targeted SEL skill-building lessons and activities.

Registration will remain open until 1/10/25 at 10:00 PM. Space is limited, so please register soon! If you have questions, please email [email protected]

If you are a staff member at a NewRoot partner school, please email [email protected] for registration support.
