Are you missing out on the hidden gem of Restorative Practices, i.e. circles? Most people are delighted to use the RP questions and language but are slighted (or more than slightly) freaked out when it comes to circles. Discover the “why”” behind circles, the variety that exists, the speed they can be done with and hear stories of where they’ve made a difference in the lives of staff and students from Paige and Joe.
