Designed for organization and school leaders, this session outlines how those of us in positions of power and decision-making can center relationships in the ways we lead our communities. Building out visions of restorative workplaces and schools, we will discuss how leadership rooted in Restorative Justice values can support us in interrupting punitive thinking and actions. How we decide on and roll out new policies and procedures is just as important as what those new practices include, so we will review strategies for being restorative in our communication and decision-making.
