Restorative Practices Implementation
Restorative Practices Self-Paced Online Training for Educators and School Teams
Move from reactive classroom management to a restorative community system, with affective language, circle dialogue, student-led agreements, conflict resolution protocols, and student voice built in from the start.
Referrals are climbing. Circles feel like an add-on. Teachers are using three different approaches to the same behavior in the same hallway. If this sounds familiar, you don’t need another sit-and-get PD day — you need a system you can build at your own pace and implement immediately.
Our self-paced online learning course gives educators, instructional coaches, counselors, and school leadership teams a step-by-step framework for moving from compliance-driven classroom management to student-centered restorative classroom communities — not a one-day workshop that fades by Friday.
What You’ll Learn to Solve
- How to reduce office referrals by strengthening relationships and restorative language before escalating students
- How to replace reactive, punitive responses with a four-step framework (SWAP) your whole staff can use in the moment
- How to facilitate circles that actually build trust — including community-building, problem-solving, and re-entry circles sequenced by risk level
- How to collect and respond to student feedback so your classroom culture is shaped by student experience, not just teacher intention
- How to co-create classroom agreements students own — with graduated repair steps that maintain dignity instead of escalating consequences
- maintaining dignity without removing students from the community — How to resolve conflict at three levels — from quick hallway conversations to formal restorative conferences
How the Training Works
Each course is designed for real implementation — not just awareness. You work through structured modules at your own pace, complete interactive practice activities that produce tools for your classroom, and finish with a restorative practices playbook built around your real students and your real building.
Our flagship 6-module self-paced course walks you through the full system: audit where you fall on the restorative continuum, build a bank of affective statements matched to your personal triggers, design and facilitate your first circle with a complete prompt sequence, collect and publicly respond to student feedback, co-create classroom agreements through real scenarios, and practice three levels of conflict resolution — from in-the-moment de-escalation to formal restorative conferences with written repair plans.
Every module includes a short video overview, deep-dive reading with real teacher narratives, interactive Genially practice activities with drag-and-drop sorting and scenario walkthroughs, downloadable templates — commitment cards, circle plans, feedback tools, agreement charters, conflict resolution toolkits — and an end-of-module knowledge check quiz.
Who This Training Is For
- K–12 educators and school teams looking for flexible, self-paced restorative practices professional development they can complete on their own schedule
- Instructional coaches and PBIS coordinators who need more than a restorative practices overview — they need implementation tools, scenario banks, and framework guides
- School counselors connecting circle facilitation, conflict resolution, and student voice into their daily practice
- District leaders seeking scalable online restorative practices training across multiple classrooms or buildings
- Schools experiencing high suspension rates, disproportionate discipline, inconsistent classroom management, or teacher burnout from behavior systems that don’t work
What Makes This Different from Other Online PD
Most restorative practices training online stops at definitions and I-statements. Ours doesn’t.
Every module produces a deliverable your team can use the next day — a completed restorative continuum audit, a personal affective statement bank matched to your triggers, a full circle dialogue plan with prompt sequences, a student feedback tool with public response templates, a scenario-based agreement charter with graduated repair steps, and a personal conflict resolution toolkit with protocols for three levels of intervention. By the end, you don’t just understand restorative practices. You’ve built your playbook.
Courses are self-paced, available 24/7, and designed for individual educators or entire school teams working through together in PLCs.
