“The intro to restorative [practices] training struck an amazing balance between providing concrete tools with thought-provoking conversation: a combination that honors both the simplicity and complexity of implementing restorative practices. I feel so much more prepared to bring this back to the teachers I work with.”

“I found it so effective to be engaged in circles to learn about circles; too often, I have attended PD that professes one thing works but teaches in the traditional, sage on the stage model; I think participating in the circles gave us a sense of the benefits by experiencing them ourselves.”
- High School Teacher, March ‘21 Participant
