A restorative conference in a school setting is an intensive intervention used to repair serious harm; it is the most formal of the Restorative Practices being used in schools today. Whereas punitive disciplinary actions such as suspension isolate students and often lead to loss of learning, loss of trust, and damaged relationships, restorative conferences seek to cultivate accountability, responsibility, inclusivity and healing. The process is nuanced and requires much attention, planning and care - and it can dramatically improve school climate, student relationships, and academic outcomes. We will discuss what accountability looks like in this context, who should be involved in restorative conferences, and how to guide a conference for successful and transformative outcomes.

In this Restorative Practices training you will learn:

• The  conditions under which restorative conferences are appropriate, viable and successful

• The components of a restorative conference 

• Guidelines and best practices for holding a restorative conference

• How to follow up after a restorative conference
