Restorative Practice Institute Winter 2026

This in-person 2-session Institute focuses on the approach and tools of restorative practice.  

Restorative practice is an approach to build and maintain strong relationships across all community stakeholders. Participants will explore the Indigenous roots of restorative practice; its interpersonal, instructional, and institutional dimensions, and learn the fundamentals of facilitating community building circles to prevent and respond to harm. 

The institute includes coaching sessions to support the application of restorative practices at your site or program.  Please note that content is scaffolded across both sessions, and full participation in both sessions and engagement in coaching is required.   

Institute dates: March 17, 2026 and March 31, 2026 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM on both dates.
