RP - Beyond a ‘Train & Hope’ model...towards school culture, planning & development



Restorative Practice, when done with consistency and intention, has proven to be key to improving student-teacher relationships, accelerating engagement, and building a respectful culture that enhances effective teaching and learning ... and as Michelle's own research shows, it is a highly effective way to address and reduce teacher stress too!


This training day is designed for those who work as senior leaders and aims to consider ways that RP can build a healthy, relational school culture (what we do) and climate (how we feel). If you are looking to invest energy in a long-term focus of strengthening school culture, then this workshop is for you.


We will explore:

  • Creating Norms & Protocols
  • Facilitating Culture Check-ins
  • Policy Reform & the importance of making changes in a restorative way.
  • Facilitation Skills for Staff Meetings such as
  • Fishbowls & Mini-Fishbowls
  • Standing Meetings 
  • Concentric Circles
  • More…
