SUMMARY:Foundations in Restorative Practices
DESCRIPTION:Today’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.

SUMMARY:SAT Prep Matters
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mary Smyth’s SAT Boot Camp has been used successfully to prepare students to take the SAT for many years. Students attend class every day during a school vacation week and practice taking short sections of the test. Students are relaxed and well-rested\, so they are able to absorb the lessons and practice at their best. Using lessons that she writes herself\, Smyth has helped many students through their own hard work improve their SAT scores by 100-200 points.

SUMMARY:Foundations in Restorative Practices
DESCRIPTION:Today’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.
