Associate teacher, Christian Mattioni, attended a Restorative Practices (RP) workshop hosted by Friends Council in November.
The workshop introduces a relationship-based approach to discipline and conflict resolution. Central to the Restorative Practice framework is engaging teachers in the process and practice of leading proactive community-building circles. Trained at the International Institute for Restorative Practices, Ida Trisolini and Christel Butchart of Carolina Friends School’s Peaceful Schools North Carolina program led the workshop. This was the second consecutive year Friends Council has offered the Restorative Practice workshop for Friends school educators.
