Become a Restorative Practices Trainer

When am I eligible to become a Restorative Practices Trainer?

The Restorative Practices Trainer program is for experienced restorative practitioners.

To be eligible to attend the Fundamentals of Restorative Practices training of trainers event, you must first attend Restorative Practices for Educators and be well versed in restorative practices, including holding group discussions in a circle.

To be eligible to attend the Restorative Conferencing training of trainers event, you must first attend Restorative Justice Conferencing, and we strongly suggest that you have participated in or facilitated a restorative conference prior to registering for the program.

During the Training of Trainers, attendees will be required to share their previous experiences with the group. There is no specific time frame developed by the IIRP to become a Restorative Practices Trainer, because readiness is dependent on personal experience, and timing will vary for each individual.
