[Grad-Cap Icon] Training

This course provides a critical awareness of how Restorative Justice promotes a positive classroom environment, addresses conflict, and reduces suspensions and expulsions. Training in using Restorative Justice classroom circles will be emphasized. You will learn how traditional justice and discipline is structured, and how implementing unitive justice structures instead can improve a school culture and strengthen relationships. Several leaders in the Restorative Justice movement will be guest speakers, giving you an understanding of diverse ways in which Restorative Justice is being implemented in Virginia schools.
