Course Number | 404 |
Course Overview | Restorative Justice (RJ) offers us a new lens with which to view conflict, discipline, and harm and it can transform education. Shifting focus from traditional models of student discipline and codes of conduct, restorative justice focuses on relationships, accountability, and harm reparation.

This course provides educators the overview, understanding, and skills necessary to begin facilitating restorative conversations, both with and between students. This course will also give participants the skills to write and develop their own restorative conversation scripts, as well as identify the ways in which they can strategically advocate for greater restorative practices in their institution. |
