In this webinar you will get a flavour of what Restorative Practices (RP) can bring to your life and your classroom. It will look at both building and maintaining relationships (prevention is better than cure after all), and also what to do when things go wrong, as will invariably happen from time to time. Get a taste of Check-in Circles, Fair Process and Restorative Questions and learn that RP can be done quickly and, importantly, while holding people to account.

The world of working in COVID restrictions is busy, challenging and often exhausting for school leaders, teachers and SNAs.  Many are operating in 5th gear all the time which leads to exhaustion, lack of joy and happiness and ultimately burnout over time.    

This is a 4 week course where you will look in more depth at how to slow down from 5th gear and find the pause button so that you can meaningfully recharge your batteries and enjoy a healthy work life balance.

Dates of course are -  09, 16 and 23 March and 13 April 2021
