The Fundamentals of Restorative Practices (IIRP)

GO BACK

This two-day interactive workshop introduces educators and school leaders to the core principles and practices of restorative approaches grounded in the International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP) framework. Participants will explore the philosophy, research base, and social science foundations that inform restorative practices, with a focus on building positive relationships, strengthening community, and effectively responding to conflict and harm.

Through engaging activities, guided discussions, and hands-on skill development, participants will learn how to use affective statements and questions, facilitate restorative circles, and apply restorative conferences to address behavioral incidents. The workshop emphasizes practical implementation strategies to foster accountability, repair harm, and create inclusive, respectful learning environments.

By the end of the two days, participants will leave with concrete tools, shared language, and an actionable plan to begin or strengthen restorative practices within their school or organization. Participants must attend both days.

The $40 registration fee will be applied towards lunch.
