SUMMARY:Foundations in Restorative Practices Program
DESCRIPTION:If your employer is a compact member of the Harold Alfond Center for the Advancement of Maine’s Workforce\, you may be eligible to take this program at a reduced cost. Click here to learn more. \n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM DESCRIPTION\nToday’s best thinking in leadership\, education\, and change management emphasize the need to create spaces where people feel seen\, heard\, and part of a community that cares. Whether you are a teacher\, parent\, principal\, health care provider or authority figure\, you can benefit from restorative practices. Over the course of this program\, you’ll be part of a supportive learning group on a fulfilling journey of growth and change. \nThrough discussions\, exercises and other practical activities you’ll deepen your knowledge of the philosophy behind restorative practices. You’ll also gain techniques to build strong\, connected cultures. When conflict occurs you’ll have non-adversarial problem-solving tools to reach solutions that build safer\, healthier\, more equitable environments. \nPractice new ways of relating to people and holding power. Instead of experiencing resistance and avoidance or having to rely on lecturing\, scolding and threatening interventions\, the systematic use of restorative practices will leave you and the people you interact with feeling connected to positive\, resilient and accountable communities. \nLearn firsthand from people and organizations already using restorative practices in their everyday life and work. Hear from teachers and other professionals who are using restorative practices to transform their organizations and outcomes. \nA social science that studies how to improve and repair relationships between people and communities\, restorative practices can help build healthy communities\, increase social capital\, decrease crime and antisocial behavior\, repair harm and restore relationships. \nRestorative practices have deep roots in indigenous peacemaking and knowledge. Global indigenous communities have a long-standing history of living in alignment with what we now refer to as restorative justice and restorative practices. The indigenous roots of these systems are not monolithic—indigenous communities practice circles and justice in different ways. Part of honoring this work means we must stay humble\, knowing that these practices came before us and will outlast us. \nDATES & TIMES\nMarch 6 & 7\, April 3\, May 1 & 2\, and June 27\, 2025\n9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. ET\nRegister Online \nMODALITY\nTaught synchronously via Zoom.
