#triconference24

Participants will leave this workshop with an understanding of the three big ideas and the four critical questions of a PLC.  This is a great workshop for anyone who needs a refresher or for anyone who is new to professional learning communities. 

Participants will learn about and discuss current research in education and best practices to make a difference in the lives of students, examine research on why students disengage from the learning process and what we can do to help them become more successful, and explore specific ideas and solutions that work in harmony with PLCs. 

This workshop focuses on how teachers can use basic restorative practices in their classroom to facilitate meaningful conversations with students.  This includes the use of affective statements and how to align conversations with the CASEL SEL framework.  The workshop will also show the connection between Restorative Practices and the district's Portrait of a Graduate.  Teachers will learn strategies to use informal affective questioning, behavior management strategies, and formal restorative conferencing.  Finally, the session will conclude with interactive scenarios where participants will be able to practice their newly learned skillset in a small group setting.
