Advanced
Restorative Practices Training
“The last two days have been indescribable in the best way possible. I left today feeling that “I’m gonna change the world” feeling. I feel empowered, hopeful, grateful, honored, and excited to begin this work. I’m ready to see changes in how we interact with kids and be reflective upon my own behavior.”

Sustaining Community & Repairing Harm
3-Day Training Event + 2 Follow-Up Community of Practice Booster Sessions
Description
It is through the development of a strong foundation of Restorative Practices that youth and adults alike can deepen their already established relationships & community and effectively repair harm when it is caused. Participants who enjoyed Ali’s Foundational Restorative Practices training will take their learning to the next level in this Advanced Restorative Practices training series.
Systems and Implementation leaders will take a deeper dive into values and needs, effective communication, and critical features of responsive Restorative Practices, and will begin action planning around the systems necessary to sustain the installation of this advanced work in schools. Through continuing to share our own stories and exploring strategies to help others do the same, participants will not only have an opportunity to grow personally but will gain skills and tools to empower the school community to systematically respond to harm restoratively.
Who Should Attend
Committed systems leaders and implementer leaders who experienced the Foundational Restorative Practices training series, are actively working to sustain community in their school/district, and want to learn the processes necessary to support repairing harm once it has been caused.
Systems Leaders: Those in positions of authority to make major systems (infrastructure) decisions
Implementer Leaders (trailblazers): Those eager educators committed to implementing with fidelity right away!
Individuals are welcome to attend, even without a team (as long as you attended the Foundational Training)!
Goals and Objectives
By the end of the series participants will:
- Develop a deeper understanding of the Foundational Restorative Practices
- Be able to identify critical features of Advanced (responsive) Restorative Practices
- Be able to identify the steps necessary to conduct responsive restorative processes that facilitate Repairing harm when it has occurred, and will have an opportunity to begin practicing these skills
- Leave the session understanding the systems necessary for the successful implementation of Advanced Restorative Practices
- Establish the next steps in the process of establishing a future process for systematically identifying when a restorative process is to be utilized, identifying initial cases to begin piloting, etc.
Community of Practice Booster Sessions:
The purchase of the 3-day Advanced Restorative Practices Training series includes not only the training itself but also two additional Community of Practice sessions with Ali Hearn. These sessions are designed with these goals in mind:
- To offer participants a safe/brave spaces to continue to practice their skills. A portion of each session will allow practice time for facilitation to keep your skills fresh!
- To help you apply what you’ve learned and provide guidance on implementing the concepts, managing data, and handling system management related to the training material.
- To allow participants the benefit of learning through the experience of others. By bringing people back together who have started to apply their skills, lessons can be learned and practices can be strengthened by all participants.
- To learn additional content that is supplemental to the training content.
