Implementing Restorative Practices


The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Center has developed resources to support educators on their restorative journey. First steps include meeting, getting acquainted with restorative principles and practices followed by building understanding and trust though training and practice. Educators can them use the practices to address ways of building community and repairing relationships. Reflection on implementation integrity and continuous improvement will bring the school community full circle back to meeting, getting acquainted.

 
The Minnesota Department of Education provides Annual Trainings for Restorative Practices. It has also compiled resources for restorative trainers who may work both in school and in community. School restorative practices coordinators and coaches can find resources for coaching restorative practitioners in a continual relationship-based learning process. Resources to support educational leadership teams in whole school implementation of restorative practices are also offered.
