Amplify Your Effect and Bring Restorative Practices to Your Organization

Strategic implementation is a key component to unlocking the benefits of restorative practices beyond professional development experiences. In workplace settings, it increases productivity, promotes innovation, and enhances employee retention, commitment, and satisfaction.

  • Effective problem-solving and conflict resolution skill development
  • Improved relationships, communication, respect, and trust

Community Engagement

Director of Community Engagement Henry L. McClendon, Jr., led the Restore KC project with Kansas City Museum. Staff completed restorative practices professional development, leading to an environment that uses replicable techniques to engage with community partners and individuals, facilitate difficult conversations, and create a space for healing to occur. Henry states: “The museum is creating a more unified Kansas City that can deal with its past and help shape its future.” Besides continuous instruction and onboarding, our instructors also provide support with consulting, coaching, and future-focused strategies that create an even greater positive impact.

Customized Application

Partnering with the Grant Imahara STEAM Foundation, our team assisted in developing the Life Skills Curriculum for LEGO Bot Battles. These lessons aim to build and sustain relationships with participants in the Bot Battles program by applying key principles of restorative practices, such as the Social Engagement Window.

“A community of dedicated practitioners can make a difference in any school or organization. We are developing a Restorative Leadership Team across a growing number of schools that will work to create a community of learners in grade bands who can rely on one another. They will grow each team's expertise through professional learning communities and intentional learning, implementation, and monitoring of school and community-based Restorative Practices.”
