This session will focus on advocating for the creative implementation of restorative practices in school discipline. Learn how one school created an alternative to suspension program, collaborated with administrators, and developed a district approved intervention. Presenters will highlight steps in obtaining team buy-in, at home lessons students complete during suspension, and the restorative process SEL team members utilize upon return to school. Program efficacy data will be shared, and attendees will receive materials needed to implement a similar program in your own district.
