Facilitating Restorative Circles in Schools

A practical 1-day training for educators who want structured, effective tools to resolve conflicts and strengthen relationships in their classrooms and schools.
Restorative Circles give you a protocol-driven process to address conflicts before they escalate to formal discipline. This is not counselling. It’s not mediation. It’s not a chat. It’s a facilitated accountability process where:

  • Students face each other and the impact of their behaviour
  • Everyone involved has a voice (including those harmed)
  • Clear expectations for repair and changed behaviour are established
  • Follow-up ensures commitments are kept

 

When it works: The conflict is resolved. Relationships are restored. Students develop conflict resolution skills. The issue doesn’t recur.
When it doesn’t work: You’ve documented a good-faith intervention attempt. Now formal discipline is justified and defensible.

Parents' Workshop

The parents’ workshop aims to equip parents with restorative parenting skills that will help them better understand their children’s behaviour, strengthen parent-child relationships, and impart effective communication skills. Parents will learn to provide their children with real and safe spaces to allow them to open up, connect with themselves, and be empowered to tell their stories through restorative conversations.
