Scaling Up Restorative Justice: Digging Deeper into Proven Practices and Challenges in Implementation

Dec 11, 2018, 8:30 AM 0- 3:30 PM

This workshop is designed for teams who have some experience and would like ideas and strategies to go further.

We know that “it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men” (Frederick Douglass, 1855),  but we often struggle in building these communities with others. Join us to examine restorative approaches and other proven practices that impact your interactions with youth. Expand your repertoire of strategies for building capacity through leadership and structural changes.

Participants will:

· Analyze key components important to sustainability of restorative justice

· Explore strategies to make the paradigm shift (head and heart) to a restorative culture at your school

· Discuss common challenges and solutions encountered in implementation, including those your team has identified

· Create team goals to reboot or scale up at your site
