GR 8098: An Introduction to Restorative Practice
Monday June 16, 9.00 - 3.30 pm
Restorative practice provides a no blame approach to dealing with harmful behaviours. This practice can be used in the classroom or yard between the teacher and student/s to deal with inappropriate behaviours. When both parties feel they have been listened to, issues are far more likely to be resolved, as there is no ongoing resentment as in a win/lose outcome. This is a great starting point or equally useful as follow to the Terry O'Connell presentation in 2007.
Targeted: Teachers, PWO's, SWC's, Chaplains, SSSO's

GR8101: Implementing Restorative Practice
Monday August 4, 12.30 – 3.30pm
As with any school innovation, the implementation of restorative practices requires careful systematic planning.

A forum with simple guidelines to "get schools going" will be a focus of the session, with an option for follow up sessions when schools are ready for the next step.
