Connection and Content: Integrating Restorative Practices into Classroom Learning

Explore methods for linking relational concepts to your curriculum.

As an educator with knowledge of restorative practices, you may wonder, “How do I effectively bring those key concepts into my students’ coursework to help them better understand the content and build relationships?” The answer is to integrate restorative practices into your daily lesson plans and instructional practices.

In this event, participants receive the information and format to expand the application of the restorative practices framework to their pedagogy and content delivery. Participants will explore various methods for connecting relational concepts directly to classroom content and leave this session with a restorative practices-based lesson plan. This helps build a relational classroom where students learn to move from being dependent learners to independent learners. Restorative practices go beyond behavior modification and are most effectively integrated into a school community’s culture when they are embedded within classroom content. This builds a stronger relational connection to the content, increasing students’ opportunities for academic success and fostering positive classroom relationships.

Participants can expect to:

• Identify how to integrate the restorative practices framework into daily lessons.
• Reflect on the connection between brain science and restorative practices ​to positively impact instructional practices.
• Apply high-impact, evidence-based instructional strategies to promote ​learning for all students.
• Examine innovative ways to bridge the gap between restorative practices principles and practical classroom applications.

Note: This event is for those with foundational knowledge of restorative practices or those who have participated in the Restorative Practices for Educators event.

Designed for:

K-12 Teachers seeking to apply and integrate restorative practices principles and concepts into their lesson plans, and Restorative Practices Coordinators seeking to relay these concepts and methods to the educators in their school environment. If you are a Restorative Practices Coordinator, we encourage you to attend this event with a teacher from your school to experience how they are processing and considering how to apply concepts to their curriculum.
