"This is a great module to roll out with TY students as a way to introduce it into the school. RP is something that should be a focus in every school, and it's great to give students an understanding of that. It will help students reflect on their own emotions and how they react in certain situations. This is not only a learning opportunity for students but for teachers too. It is easy to follow and well-structured for teachers to be able to jump straight in. It consists of 10 engaging, interactive, and reflective lessons for students to be able to gain a better understanding of themselves."

RP for TY Students Relationship Keeper Wellbeing Programme
- Are you looking for something fun, innovative and dynamic for your TY programme?
- Are you seeking to build the positive communication skills of your students that they can use in their everyday lives?
- Are you looking for ways to bond the TY class as a group where they feel a sense of community and belonging in an increasingly disconnected world?
If you answered 'Yes' to the above, then the RP for TY programme is for you.
Building Relationships Through Positive Communication
10 week programme
Mentor It
The first phase of this programme is to gather the teachers together for a Face to Face training day with Michelle, where they will focus on the skills required to facilitate this programme among their students back in the classroom.
Resource It
TY Coordinators of the programme will walk away in hand with their printed teacher lesson plans, classroom resources and an attractive student journal to support in the immediate implementation of this programme.
A breakdown of these resources can be found here.
Practise It
Each lesson plan offers a quest for students to practice their new RP skills, thinking and language in their everyday life. Also, as Michelle says in her video above, one of the best parts of this programme is the "Light it Up" stage where the TY students do something within their school to bring these learnings to life :-)

What our previous participants have said...
"This is an excellent course to take if you are interested in Restorative Practice. It would also be very beneficial if you would like your Transition Year students to complete a module in Restorative Practice. Michelle was engaging, kept the content interesting with fun activities and was always open to any questions I had. The resources provided are excellent and I feel that the students will benefit greatly from this programme! Thank you."
Teacher
"This course was both enjoyable, informative and practical. I left today feeling positive and that this programme can be easily implemented as part of our TY Programme."
Teacher
"Michelle is very personable which helped with the interactions in activities throughout today. She includes everyone in. the group (asking names and why we have our names/meanings behind names). I've learned loads for preparation in facilitating TYs. Through this 10 week programme (games/strategies also). Thank you so much for your time."
Teacher
"I really enjoyed the workshop on TY RP. I can't wait to bring it back into the classroom and hopefully share the philosophy of RP throughout my school community."
Teacher
"Michelle is a very knowledgable educator. She has constructed a course which is easy to use and links with many areas of the curriculum. This is a value based course which teaches students skills in active methodologies and examples of ways which they already use this in their lives and many classes by teachers. This is a fun workshop and gets you thinking. The CPD day went by so fast and the energy leaving was so positive."
