About this Event

Restorative practices in schools lower discipline referrals and suspensions, raise community connections, build healthy relationships, and develop young lives. Across Maryland, many schools faithfully follow restorative practices and are seeing the short- and longer-term benefits described above. But what if they are just scratching the surface of the good restorative approaches can do?

Schools that integrate the restorative philosophy and practices into their cultures achieve all the benefits listed above PLUS they lower their school drop-out rates, diminish the Access/Achievement Gap, raise test scores, and report higher quality of life in school climate surveys. These restorative schools make a positive difference in the lives of all members of their learning community.

Across the US and the world, restorative discipline is keeping kids in school and protecting their ability to learn and grow into successful adults. It is breaking the cycle known as The School-to-Pr*son Pipeline, improving graduation rates, and reducing school drop-out rates by building meaningful connections--student-to-student and adult-to-student.

Understand and embrace the restorative experience beyond fidelity to restorative practices with C-DRUM’s Director of Restorative Approaches in Education, Nancy Schertzing. During the morning of this full day session, Nancy connects you to the restorative paradigm through experiences from your life, her life, and the lives of others. In the afternoon, work with her to explore the vital role relationships play in learning, and teaching, then practice some simple skills you can use to create your own Restorative Experience.
