About the Intro to Culture of Care
Professional Development (PD) Training
The Intro to Culture of Care training teaches participants the basic restorative justice principles and practices and the importance of building authentic healthy relationships. Over the course of 4-days, participants will complete 16 training modules (broken up into 4 tiers). Participants will engage in Community Building Circles, Norm Setting Circles, Restorative Conversations, Restorative Circles and learn to respond from minor to major misbehavior problems. This training culminates in completing an Action Plan, which is a valuable road map in carrying out a plan for implementation and sustainability at your school, district, department, or organization.
The process known as Appreciative Inquiry, a strengths-based approach, will be used as the foundation to blend the good work already in place with the new restorative practices. The circle process is embedded in this training by having teams work together in circles to cultivate the content that they are learning throughout each module. Each training session is very interactive where participants will learn the module content and will be provided the opportunity to engage in discussion (prompted by Appreciative Inquiry questions) and will gain practical experience of restorative justice practices in small group practice sessions.
This research based training will be facilitated as a training-the-trainers professional development training. Participants will leave the sessions offered with the knowledge, skills, and resources to implement what was learned and also to teach others about what they learned. Upon completion of the training, participants will become a certified specialist in Creating a Culture of Care in Schools using Restorative Justice Principles and Practices and culturally appropriate relationships and interactions. Must participate in all 4 days of PD training to receive the Specialist certificate. Upon completion, participants can opt for 2 Master's credits at Colorado State University.
